| Abstract: | The thesis starts with a literature review on democratization and two key subcategories: transition and consolidation. The literature indicates a strong consensus on at least five variables that influence the democratization process. The second part of the thesis exists out of a deviant case study of the Tunisian Revolution between 2010 and 2011. This case study aims to assess to what extent the case study deviates from the theory discussed in the first part. The deviant case study will be used to refine the democratization theory and the set of variables that influence the process of democratization. The most notable results of the deviant case study are: (1) Two variables are poorly explained in the literature on democratization and (2) three of the five variables mentioned by the literature are not met in the case study. |
