Alex Prior makes the excellent point that "[w]e cannot simply airdrop a democratic institution and expect a democratic outcome, because the institution inevitably ‘lands’ on an already established context".

Like others who have studied global histories of democracy, I take this "already established context" to mean that people - wherever they are to be found - innately understand what it means to, for example, resent a tyrant, want freedom from authority, and seek the autonomy to live as they see fit (collectively, individually). These feelings can turn into institutional/cultural "birth moments" or origination points of a form/type/kind/model of democracy.
Do you know of any resources that can help us map these "births" of the democracies?
before, please read what G.B.Show said about democracy
1. Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
2. Democracy is a balloon that hangs over you and causes you to look up while others blow you through your pockets.
Is there any serious human that operates DEMOCRACY or TOTALITARISM as realities? That is strange and sad.
we must limit the place and society that we want install democracy in it,
if you want took about birth of democracy and growth it successfully .
we need identify some things,like social situation such as how is institution of society allowed democracy?, and relation that are with other city or country and identify democracy change it until successful in this society because democracy is a process not unchangeable thing.
