This collection of articles, compiled by Democracy Reporting International (DRI) and Prague-based Institute for European Policy EUROPEUM, presents case studies which recall the difficulties, pitfalls and political missteps which jeopardised democratic transitions in several countries and even caused some of them to fail. It complements a report issued earlier in 2011 by DRI and the Portuguese Institute for International Relations which examined ‘successful’ transitions to democracy in Europe from the 1970s until 1991.
