Demokratizatsiya

Demokratizatsiya is a term that refers to the process of transitioning a country from an authoritarian or less democratic system to a more open, democratic one. It involves introducing political reforms such as free elections, increased civil liberties, and the rule of law. The goal is to create a political environment where citizens have greater participation, freedom of expression, and government accountability. This process can be gradual and complex, often accompanied by social and economic changes, and may face resistance from those accustomed to centralized control.
