Transition to Democracy
The "Transition to Democracy" refers to the process through which a country moves from an authoritarian regime to a democratic system of governance. This transition often involves the establishment of free and fair elections, the protection of human rights, and the creation of institutions that promote political participation and accountability. Countries may experience various challenges during this process, including political instability and resistance from existing power structures.
Successful transitions can lead to improved governance, increased civic engagement, and enhanced economic development. Examples of such transitions include the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which marked the end of communist rule in Eastern Europe, and the Arab Spring, where several nations sought democratic reforms.
