*Historein, Vol 15, No 1 (2015): Revisiting Democratic Transitions in Times
of Crisis*



The latest issue of Historein brings together scholars from the fields of
history, political science, political economy, historical sociology and
cultural studies, to comment on the theoretical and empirical unsettling of
democratic transitions at the time of the economic crisis. The volume links
together transitions in time and space, reappraising the democratic
processes in Southern Europe in the mid-1970s, the post-1989
transformations in Eastern Europe, the effects of Southern Cone
democratisations and the 2011 revolts in the Arab worlds, resisting both
temporal particularities and national exceptionalisms. It further showcases
how even supposed model transitions came under attack during the current
economic crisis, thus highlighting the inconclusive nature of these events
and the strong interconnections between past and present.
