Abstract
Thus far, the literature on democratization has focused on two main sources of change. Guillermo O’Donnell and Philippe Schmitter have emphasized the political calculation of autocrats as the most critical factor in transitions from authoritarianism. 1 Others have stressed factors exogenous to the regime, such as foreign influences, mobilization of opposition forces, and socioeconomic conditions. Relatively few authors have examined endogenous changes in existing political institutions as a source of “creeping democratization.”
