[edit]Discuss the three branches of the Liberian government in detail 41.191.104.42 (talk) 18:45, 22 May 2023 (UTC) Since the late Ottoman period the establishment or empowerment of legislatures has been a primary goal of most popular political reform movements, including those dedicated to gaining independence. By the end of World War 11, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan all had functioning legislatures. For a short time legislative institutions flourished in Sudan, Tunisia, and Morocco. But as a consequence of development ideologies prevalent at the time, national security concerns, and desires for political integration and rapid economic development, most countries in the area ultimately succumbed to military dictatorship and one party rule, or they retained absolute monarchies. Only Lebanon emerged as a pluralistic country with a strong functioning legislature. During the past decade there has been a renewed interest in legislatures as part of the widely felt need to make political systems more responsive. This interest is not akin, however, to the dramatic process of democratization in Latin America and Eastern Europe. Demands for political reform have not culminated in the replacement of political elites by new ones, whether based in a legislature or elsewhere. Political change in the MENA region has been gradual and uneven. That change has taken the form not of replacing incumbent elites, but of re-legitimizing the existing system through elections and incorporation of new groups into the institutions of the state. This is one of three possible modes of democratization. Transition through regime breakdown or collapse is the most common manner by which authoritarian regimes undergo transitions to democracy, according to Share and Mainwaring. The authoritarian regime is discredited and delegitimized, either as a result of a coup, a revolution, or some internal or external crisis or defeat, such as those affecting Germany and Japan in World War 11, or Greece in 1974, or Argentina in 1982-83. The second type of transition to democracy is through "extrication." In this case, "authoritarian elites set limits regarding the form and timing of political change but are less capable of controlling the transition beyond the moment of the first election."' They simply manage to retain some control over the transition, as they did in Peru (1980), Bolivia (1979-1980), and Uruguay (1982-1985). The least common type of transition is — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.191.104.70 (talk) 12:31, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
