Zusammenfassung:The global tides of democratization that have swept South and East Europe, Latin America and Africa since the 1970s also engulfed Asia in the 1980s and 1990s. In this region, between 1986 and 1999, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand all embraced genuine transitions to democracy.
