This section contains some duplicate text, around the phrase "Recent demonstrations of the emergence of democracy". It also has some content which used to be part of a citation ("The argument also appears in Walt W. Rostow") and is now in the text. There are also some phantom citation numbers. As far as I can tell, the errors were caused by this edit. I tried to fix this, but I can't figure it out, it's not my area, and I'd rather not mess it up further. Anybody feel like cleaning this up?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I see that this article has been categorized as level=5 in Philosophy. Modernization theory is a theory in the social sciences. It is only linked tenuously to philosophy. I would put it under the Social Sciences heading.

I tagged the article because there seems to be a fair bit of original research or irrelevant content, partly due to a merge of Modernization; too bad, as this is a vital article. If anyone is willing to rework it in depth, I recommend doing a literature search, aggressively pruning anything that's not in those sources (essentially rewriting from scratch), and redoing it chronologically instead of thematically, covering the various conceptions of modernization theory in the 50s/60s, then the skepticism and counter-theories, so that it's clear what these theories claimed, what they were based on, and how they evolved.
