Democratization

Democratization is the process through which a country transitions towards a more democratic form of governance, allowing for greater participation of citizens in political decision-making. This often involves the establishment of free and fair elections, protection of individual rights, and the rule of law. It can result from various factors, including social movements, political reform, or external influences. Successful democratization promotes accountability, transparency, and civil liberties, fostering an environment where diverse voices can be heard and government actions are subject to public scrutiny. Ultimately, it aims to empower citizens and improve their quality of life.
