The Centre for Studies in Democratisation was established at the Department of Politics and International Studies of the University of Warwick in 1992. CSD is a long-term, multidisciplinary initiative that seeks to understand why, how and when democracies emerge, sustain or collapse. It also investigates the reasons why democratisation can sometimes be problematic. See also Affiliated PhD students
