Il saggio si propone tre obiettivi tra loro connessi: collocare l'evoluzione delle democrazie dell'Europa sud-orientale nel quadro teorico degli studi sulla democratizzazione; trarre da tali esperienze elementi utili allo studio comparato dei processi di democratizzazione; e valutare in maniera critica le rappresentazioni della regione che impediscono di formulare giudizi più obiettivi sui tentativi democratici di questi paesi e sulle loro probabilità di successo. Cercheremo di affrontare i temi più generali dando, allo stesso tempo, risposta a due domande specifiche: innanzi tutto, quali sono le caratteristiche che distinguono il processo di democratizzazione avvenuto nell'Europa sud-orientale e quali sono le differenze rispetto ad altre esperienze analoghe, nell'Europa centro-orientale, meridionale o altrove? In secondo luogo, cosa spiega queste differenze? Per cominciare, però, ci si consenta una breve digressione teorica.

Summary

Summary

The article has two main goals: first, to place Southeastern Europe within the broader, comparative context of democratization studies and to assess the region's prospects for democratic consolidation. Its second goal is to contribute to the theoretical debate concerning the conditions of democratic consolidation, by pointing to the significance of macrohistorical factors, such as the long-term legacy of state-society relations, for the consolidation of democracy. In pursuit of that second goal, the article engages in an interregional comparison, involving East-Central and Southeastern Europe, whose main thrust is to identify the legacies in state-society relations created by the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires respectively and to examine their impact on the two regions’ democratization processes. The article concludes that these imperial legacies combined with different types of post-totalitarian regimes (early post-totalitarianism in the case of Southeastern Europe, mature or frozen in East-Central Europe) produce distinctly different democratization trajectories affecting the prospects for democratic consolidation in each region.
