Pathways of democratisation to human development in post-communist countries / A. Cassani, F. Luppi, G. Natalizia. - In: EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF POLITICAL RESEARCH. - ISSN 0304-4130. - 55:3(2016 Aug), pp. 512-530. [10.1111/1475-6765.12140]
Abstract:
The article investigates the consequences of post-Cold War regime transitions on human development in the former Soviet bloc. Relying on a mixed-methods research strategy that combines econometric and qualitative comparative analysis, it proceeds through three consecutive steps. First, there is a discussion of how democratic institutions may solicit governments’ attention toward social issues. Second, the relationship between democratisation and human development in 21 post-communist countries is tested. Third, democracy in its core attributes is unpacked, and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is used to identify a few alternative institutional configurations favouring human development. The analysis reveals that not only full democracies, but also some hybrid regimes, have been successful in this task.
