There is no universal strategy of democratic transition, but would lead to a parliamentary democracy more stable than presidentialism the latter promoting greater concentration of power and the emergence of conflicts

analysis of the democratic transition in a country poses the central question means used to achieve the democratic goal. These means do they appeal to a certain "democratic rationality"? Is there a strategy of democratic transition universally applicable? Or should we instead consider that they are based on expectations of a society and it is therefore necessary to adapt the means to the situation in question?
We start from the premise: the success of any transition resulting from a combination of respect and implementation of key principles - without which there can be no democracy - and the adjustment means selected the specific context of the situation at hand. It is certainly in that Georgina Sánchez López says, speaking of Latin American democracies that "the face of developments such rapid uncertain, and to build legitimacy, democracy remains to be invented before the upgrade." (1)
Therefore there is no magic formula, but more a need to manage adequately skilled and a set of theoretical and practical problems inherent in the reality that each story is unique and therefore each country.
The explanation of democratic transitions has been various analysis:
  • Some authors put forward a priori analysis , giving primacy:
    • political culture: only companies that share certain values and traditions can achieve democracy;
    • and level of development.
    • Another approach is to highlight the need for economic and social development as a prerequisite for the emergence of democracy.
If all these "ingredients democratic "indisputably part of a smooth transition, even to the flowering of democracy, they do not allow themselves to explain the success or failure. These approaches have largely been abandoned in the 1980s, especially during the emergence of democracies in the cultures supposedly traditionally authoritarian, such as Argentina, the Andean countries to the level of development uncertain.
  • Other authors adopt an approach post: they focus identify the general causes of a transition and focus on forms of government best suited to the consolidation of democracy.
  • Finally, some authors focused on the various systems of government or election, often through comparative analysis, seeking to draw conclusions that might be relevant to the consolidation of democracy. For example, Juan J. Linz suggested parliamentarism led to a more stable democracy than presidentialism , the latter promoting greater concentration of power and the emergence conflicts.
