Regional Integration and Democratic Conditionality (eBook, PDF)

How Democracy Clauses Help Democratic Consolidation and Deepening

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

With its global scope, originality, and theoretical rigor, this is the first book to catalogue democracy clauses adopted by RIOs worldwide with a thorough analysis of their effectiveness. The findings based on the analysis of 40 RIOs around the world and in-depth analysis of the European Union, the Common Market of the South, and the Economic Community of West African States indicate that RIO democracy clauses help prevent democratic backsliding and coups and stimulate democratization and consolidation.
