Modos de transição em perspectiva comparada Modes of transition in comparative perspective
Embora a literatura sobre democratização tenha dedicado consideravel atenção ao conceito de modos de transição, as tentativas de explicar as perspectivas de consolidação democrática como conseqüência do modo de transição revelam-se inconclusivas. Revisitando esse debate, este artigo sustenta que o modo de transição afeta o padrão de competição entre elites, as regas institucionais elaboradas durante o período de transição e a disposição de atores-chave a aceitar ou rejeitar as novas regras do jogo. Dá-se conteúdo substantivo a esse argumento mediante uma comparação inter-regional que abrange os casos da Argentina, do Brasil, do Chile, da Bulgária, da Tchecoslováquia, da Hungria e da Polônia.<br>While the literature on democratization has devoted considerable attention to the concept of modes of transition, the attempts to explain the prospects of democratic consolidation as a consequence of the mode of transition have been inconclusive. Revisiting this debate, this article argues that the mode of transition affects the pattern of elite competition, the institutional rules that are crafted during the period of transition, and the disposition of key actors to accept or reject the new rules of the game. This argument is substantiated through a cross-regional comparison encompassing the cases of Argentina, Brazil Chile, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland
