How violent events and autocratic parties trigger democratic change
How do democracies emerge? Shock to the System presents a novel theory of democratization that focuses on how events like coups, wars, and elections disrupt autocratic regimes and trigger democratic change. Employing the broadest qualitative and quantitative analyses of democratization to date, Michael Miller demonstrates that more than nine in ten transitions since 1800 occur in one of two ways: countries democratize following a major violent shock or an established ruling party democratizes through elections and regains power within democracy. This framework fundamentally reorients theories on democratization by showing that violent upheavals and the preservation of autocrats in power--events typically viewed as antithetical to democracy--are in fact central to its foundation. Through in-depth examinations of 139 democratic transitions, Miller shows how democratization frequently follows both domestic shocks (coups, civil wars, and assassinations) and international shocks (defeat in war and withdrawal of an autocratic hegemon) due to autocratic insecurity and openings for opposition actors. He also shows how transitions guided by ruling parties spring from their electoral confidence in democracy. Both contexts limit the power autocrats sacrifice by accepting democratization, smoothing along the transition. Miller provides new insights into democratization's predictors, the limited gains from events like the Arab Spring, the best routes to democratization for long-term stability, and the future of global democracy. Disputing commonly held ideas about violent events and their effects on democracy, Shock to the System offers new perspectives on how regimes are transformed.

Why are certain persons more effective than others in their personal lives and within their professional atmosphere?
Some are maybe very effective in their houses, having great relationships with their partners and kids, but with many communication problems within their workplace. Others have great relationships in the workplace at the cost of their marriages and family life: a lot of time has been spent in the workplace along with the family at home has been felt ignored and left behind.
The origin cause of the issue is communicating or being exact: successful communication. Surprisingly, a great deal of communicating is going well the majority of the time. But in case a communication problem occurs, the question: what went wrong?

Nobody is perfect, and even life isn't perfect. You may not be perfect and neither your partner. So, it's imperative to communicate your feelings to your partner in marriage and even listen actively to their emotions and perspectives. If you carry unresolved issues inside you, your heart will eventually turn cold. Learn more about how to communicate with your partner by reading this book.

Описание: Since the beginnings of independence, a number of African nations have been plagued by repeated coup d'etats. Within the African Union (AU), there has been a concerted effort to break this cycle through the official adoption of an ‘anti-coup norm’, by which the AU is mandated to suspend a member state and restore constitutional order following a coup. Supporters of this stance see it as strengthening democracy in Africa, while critics argue that it has served to prop up existing regimes. But there has been little analysis of what the AU’s attempts to ‘restore constitutional order’ have meant for individual African states.
In this book, Antonia Witt looks at the legacy of the AU’s intervention in Madagascar following the 2009 ‘Malagasy crisis’, one of the increasingly relevant yet under-researched cases of non-Western intervention in Africa. The book looks at the ways in which international intervention reconfigured the political order in Madagascar, how it facilitated the power struggle within the Madagascan elite and prevented more profound political change. It also considers what the example set by the Madagascan intervention means for the wider international order in Africa and the powers attributed to African international actors such as the AU.
Описание: Using countries such as Burkina Faso, Cote d`Ivoire, Egypt, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, and Sudan as case studies, this book studies the causes, effects, and evolution of military coups in Africa in order to show that eliminating military coups will require identifying and addressing the root causes of the coup in each affected state.
