This is a chapter in an edited volume that was issued to celebrate 100 years of Swedish democracy. Together with Staffan Lindberg, the chapter puts the Swedish democratization process in an international and historical perspective. Was the Swedish extension of the suffrage early or late? What has characterized the extension of the suffrage globally since? Is there a “natural” sequence in which the suffrage is extended or has this varied over time?
