    Leading a Successful Transition to Democracy: A Qualitative Analysis of Political Leadership in Spain and Lithuania
    (SAGE Journals, 2019-01-25) Kalpokas Matulaityte, Neringa; Radivojevic,Ivana; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Any country embarking upon a political transition to democracy faces a complex period of change. While many factors influence successful democratization, political leadership remains a relatively unexplored phenomenon. This research presents a theoretical framework that is corroborated with data gathered from 65 semi-structured interviews with people involved in the transition processes of Spain and Lithuania along with the main political leaders themselves: King Juan Carlos I, Adolfo Suárez, Algirdas Brazauskas and Vytautas Landsbergis. The four leaders presented a similar political leadership style – based on their vision, decision-making, negotiation and power – which positively influenced the success of each transition to democracy.
