Launched in 2005, the Project on Democratic
Transitions began with a primary focus on the
political transitions of Eastern Europe and parts
of the former Soviet Union after 1989. The goal
has been to better understand both the successes
and the failures of democratization attempts in
the post-communist countries, and to
draw policy-relevant conclusions from this experience.
On this page you will find information about our
current research and Recent Findings along with a
vast and comprehensive Literature Survey
summarizing relevant literature on the subject of
democratic transitions.Election Watch is a new
project at PDT, and it monitors recent and
upcoming elections in countries of interest.
Project staff and interns actively participate in
creating the Election Watch reports which
summarize the election results, pre and post
election discussions, and offers brief analyses
from PDT experts. Further information about
PDT's past and most recent publications and
events is also available on this page and our
Working Hypotheses in PDF format offers further,
in-depth explanation of PDT's theoretical framework.
