G. Capoccia

Working Papers from European Institute - Political and Social Sciences

Abstract: While the strategies of political actors and institutions have been largely analyzed with reference to cases of democratic breakdown in inter-war Europe and other contexts, democratic survival has often been viewed as a consequence of socio-economic and cultural "preconditions". The analysis of successful reactions to strong extremist challenges in three cases of democratic survival aganinst the background of two cases of breakdown in the same historical context is a useful complement to this view.
