How do democracies emerge? This work presents a novel theory of democratization, emphasizing how events like coups, wars, and elections disrupt autocratic regimes and trigger democratic change. Through extensive qualitative and quantitative analyses, the author reveals that over ninety percent of transitions since 1800 occur in two primary ways: countries democratize after a significant violent shock, or established ruling parties democratize through elections and regain power within a democratic framework.
