OverviewThe author provides a new definition of democracy - one permitting the continuous achievement of a more equal distribution of political power - before discussing the main conditions (economic development, the political process, external influences) responsible for democratic transition and development. Arguing that post-modernization theory can explain globalization, he builds on the democratic peace thesis, contending that globalization is a function of democracy.
