Democratization, Liberalization & Human Rights in the Third World

by Mahmood Monshipouri

Abrupt democratisation in Third World countries does not always result in enhanced human rights. Mahmood Monshipouri argues that human rights in fledgling democracies are most likely to be improved if the transition from authoritarianism is preceded by a process of economic liberalisation, which works as a prelude to a gradual expansion of civil society.
