Peaceful transition of power
A peaceful transition or transfer of power is a concept important to democratic governments, where the leadership of a government peacefully hands over control of government to a newly elected leadership. In scholarship examining,emergent democracy, study of the successful transitions of power is used to understand the transition to constitutional democracy and the relative stability of that government.[1][2][3] Successful transitions, such as the Velvet Revolution in Armenia in 2018, are interpreted as signs of improved governance within the country, and functioning civil society.[4]
Discussion of a peaceful transition of power is important to the United States presidential transition, and in 2020, was publicly called into question by Donald Trump durin the 2020 presidential campaign.[5]
