The most important of the four books is without a doubt the fourth volume, Tentative Conclusions about Uncertain Democracies, also known as "the little green book."  Transitions from Authoritarian Rule was the first book in any language to systematically compare the process of transition from authoritarianism across a broad range of countries. Political democracy is not the only possible outcome. Guillermo O'Donnell, Philippe C. Schmitter, and Laurence Whitehead emphasize that it's not the revolution but the transition that is critical to the growth of a democratic state. This ground-breaking insight remains highly relevant as the ramifications of the Arab Spring continue to play out.  This reissue features a new foreword by Cynthia J. Arnson, director of the Latin American Program at the Woodow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and Abraham F. Lowenthal, founding director of the Latin American Program, who wrote the original volume's foreword. 0aRepresentative government and representationvCase studies. 4aGobierno representativovEstudio de casos9412 0aAuthoritarianismvCase studies. 4aAutoritarismovEstudio de casos93582 0aDemocracyvCase studies. 4aDemocraciavEstudio de casos 94111 aSchmitter, Philippe C., 99218d1936-2 aWoodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. bLatin American Programesponsoring body.910215  a7bcbcccopycatd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  00102lcc40708CSaBJBbBJBcCSd2019-10-22l0oJF 1051 O26t 2013p00000140028r2019-10-22 00:00:00t1w2023-04-11yBK
