Discussion
In which of the following developing countries transition from democracy to consolidated democracy can be witnessed ?
Answer: B
The country is India.
A democracy is called consolidated when democratic rules have become 'the only game in town': regular, free elections, peaceful changes of government and no serious force seeking power outside the constitution. India has held elections and transferred power peacefully since 1952, with the Emergency of 1975-77 ending through an election, and is the standard developing-country example of democratic consolidation.
Pakistan has repeatedly fallen under military rule, Kenya was a one-party state for long periods, and Uruguay (spelt 'Uruguway' in the paper) had a military dictatorship from 1973 to 1985.
