摘要

本論文以《民主化的歷程》(Democratization)與《第三波－二十世紀末的民主化浪潮》(The Third Wave: Democratization in the Late Twentieth Century)兩本有關民主化問題的專著，作為波特(David Potter)與杭廷頓(Samuel P. Huntington)兩位學者的民主化理論的代表，進而比較分析其中關於民主化解釋因素的部分。
本論文首先介紹兩位學者對於民主化解釋因素的基本論述，接著從合法性問題、經濟因素、社會因素、宗教與意識型態，及外部因素等五個面向，比較兩位學者對於民主化解釋因素論述的異同。希望藉由比較分析，能深入了解兩位學者對於民主化先決條件的論述，進而討論前蘇聯各加盟國的政治民主化發展。

This essay tries to compare two scholars' theories on democratization. One is Potter and others' Democratization. The other is Samuel Huntington's The Third Wave. We found that there are some similarities between these two theories. Essentially, factors such as legitimacy, economy, and external factors played important roles in the process of democratization. A further study of their theories should be able to help us to understand more clearly of current development of democratization in several countries such as those in Russia's neighbors.
