Abstract
In this essay we attempt to uncover what factors are most fundamental to democratic backsliding in Poland and Turkey. The purpose is to use Nancy Bermeo’s theoretical framework and USAID’s analytical standpoints in order to determine which of them best explain backsliding in Poland and Turkey, and if they are generalizable. In the essay we arrive at the conclusion that the reasons for backsliding in Poland and Turkey are different, but the motives used for backsliding have similarities that can be generalized. We also establish that backsliding is multifaceted, and that it cannot be explained by a single action or event, but instead has to be seen as the consequence of several factors.
