Preferred term

political parties in emerging democracies  

Definition

  • Emerging democracies are countries that experience a peaceful transition to democratic rule despite a history of authoritarianism or civil conflict. Political parties in emerging democracies are difficult to classify as unitary entities since emerging democracies often have little in common due to differences in their geography, history, culture, religion, previous regimes, and transition process to democracy.
