Definition
- During the mid-1970s, the third wave of democratization, a phrase coined by American political scientist Samuel Huntington, started in Western Europe; subsequently, it swept through Latin America and postcommunist Europe, including republics of the former Soviet Union. Many countries affected by this wave displayed democratic features, such as regular elections and civil liberties. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Transitional Regimes]
