Abstract: The political agents played a decisive role in the process of democratization to solve the economic crises and the internal disunity generated by the economic development. Economic development is not a sufficient but a necessary condition for the process of democratization. The role of political agent would be crucial for making transition to democracy. The transition to democracy in the case of Southern Europe can be explained by the interaction theory between structure and agent. The situation of economic crises and the change of economic structure, caused by the process of modernization, required the action of the political agents in Southern Europe. The article will explain the interaction theory between structure and political agents in the process of democratization.
