TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on countries that do qualify as polyarchies, but have weak or intermittent horizontal accountability, which is no mean feat; even some countries that regularly hold elections fail to meet these criteria.

On the State, Democratization and Some Conceptual Problems: A Latin American View with Glances at Some Postcommunist Countries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that for proper understanding of many processes of democratization, current conceptions of the state must be revised, especially with reference to its legal dimension, and several contrasts are drawn between representative, consolidated democracies and the democratic (i.e., polyarchical) forms that are emerging in most newly democratized countries, East and South.
