Document Summary
Roots of democracy in europe: mazower reading: democracy is not natural for europe, we like to think that europe was a continent led astray by dictators rather than. Elite control: different regimes emerge: communist, fascism, national socialist (anti-religious + explicitly nationalist), christian authoritarianism (against communist), the russian revolution shaped political choices in other country. Russian would be the first democratic success but it failed liberalism (they thought everything could be fix by giving the people constitutional liberties). Led to soviet union (revolution)= instead of a constitution the soviet union applied socio-economical changes.
