In this research project, one of the main case studies was that of Zambia. In this case, political practices found in the case have common features in other experiences identified in political regimes after "democratization" in other parts of the world. Seemingly, one of the most important obstacles for democratization in Zambia is "presidentialism," which has not yet reformed in the process of "democratization" so far. This constitutional issue is the fundamental institutional impediment for horizontal "check and balance" to work. Weakness of institutionalization of party politics can be also explained by this centralized political system, which has continued since the "ancient regime" of UNIP one-party era. In this sense, the current constitutional review process will be a important test if the process of democratization will be materialized in the near future. In addition, one of the characteristics of recent political regime in Zambia is that vertical accountability derived from active "civil society" complements relative weakness of horizontal one. This feature is reflected in a positive image of broadening political freedom and space held by the Zambian public. Finally, in this project, the future research agenda was identified. It is really necessary to look into a variety of micro-level political practices and institutions which have been relatively overlooked in the literature focusing too much on electoral process for the purpose of deepening the understanding real process of "democratization".

在这个研究项目中，主要案例研究之一是赞比亚。就本案而言，本案中发现的政治实践与世界其他地区“民主化”后政治体制的经验具有共同特征。看来，赞比亚民主化最重要的障碍之一就是“总统制”，而“总统制”至今在“民主化”进程中尚未得到改革。这一宪法问题是横向“制衡”发挥作用的根本制度障碍。政党政治制度化的弱点也可以用这种从联合国民党一党时代的“旧政权”以来一直延续的集权政治体制来解释。从这个意义上说，当前的宪法审查进程将是民主化进程能否在不久的将来实现的重要考验。此外，赞比亚近期政体的特点之一是，活跃的“公民社会”产生的纵向问责弥补了横向问责的相对弱点。这一特点体现在赞比亚公众扩大政治自由和政治空间的积极形象上。最后，在这个项目中，确定了未来的研究议程。为了加深对“民主化”真实过程的理解，确实有必要审视那些在过于关注选举过程的文献中相对被忽视的各种微观政治实践和制度。
