Constructing Self-Enforcing Democracy in Spain

Abstract:
Although students of democracy have long been held Spain to be a paradigmatic case of successful transition to democracy, no consensus exists as to why. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new approach of democratic stability and consolidation. This approach emphasizes that, to be sustained, democracy must be self-enforcing in the sense that all actors with the potential to disrupt democracy have no incentive to do so. The theory affords a new answer to the question of what makes the Spanish case paradigmatic.
