1 Lahore University of Management Sciences POL 421 Theories of Democratic Transition Spring 2010 Instructor: Dr. Rasul Bakhsh Rais Office: 239 E Old HSS Wing E-mail: rasul@lums.edu.pk Office Hours: TBA Format for Lectures: 2 x 100 minutes sessions. Course Level: 400 Course Description Democracy is no longer a western ideal, but a universal value that societies with different cultures, histories, political experiences and social structures have increasingly embraced. The fast growth of democracy in a wider mix of societies has put into questions many of the old theories of democratization, and has generated fresh ideas, debates and controversies about the modes, processes and the role of elites and groups in bringing about democratic transition. This course will examine contemporary literature on democratic transition with a close focus on the Third Wave. We will start with an overview of the debate on social requisites of democracy, background factors, and modernization theory. They will be critiqued in the light of new theories based on empirical evidence from Latin America and East European countries that reject cultural explanations. The question of compatibility between Islam and democracy has generated more heat than light and the literature is largely polemical with very few exceptions. We will raise the question why Muslim societies have not made transition to democracy and under what conditions they are likely to do so? And what role external intervention can or should play in developing democracy around the world, including Islamic states? (Note: this course outline is tentative, more sessions will be added before it is finally delivered) Course Objectives Objectives of the Course Give students deep theoretical understanding of political transformations associated with democratic change

2 Familiarize students with different theoretical strands and comparative studies to understand the process of democratic transition and how it can be brought about Make them think critically about the process of modernization, and how and why democracy is making transition from a western political and philosophical tradition to a universal ideal.
