Answer to Question 1

One of the most common causes of regime change from democracy to non-democracy is a military coup, which occurs when elements in a country's armed forces overthrow a democratically elected civilian government and take control. Most military coups target non-democratic rulers rather than democratic regimes. However, coups against democratic regimes continue to occur. For example, in Thailand, the military overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006.
