Regime Implications of Legislative Institutionalization in Post-Authoritarian Societies

Making a Case for Theory Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Zusammenfassung

The paper discusses regime implications of legislative institutionalization in post-authoritarian societies. Specifically, it addresses the role of legislatures in the process of democratic transition and consolidation. It contributes to explaining roles of legislatures in post-authoritarian societies after they complete the process of legislative institutionalization and develop full institutional capacity. The paper makes a case for the importance of theory development to address the needs of post-authoritarian societies in their democratic pursuits. It builds on well-established theories of evolutionary and historic institutionalism and contributes to further development of these theories by offering an additional perspective – compassionate institutionalism.
