The interconnection between international organizations (IOs)
membership and democratization has become a topic of intense
debate. However, the main focus of the literature so far has been
on IOs created by democratic states and comprised mostly of
democracies, for examples the European Union. In contrast to
existing studies, this book focuses on another group of regional
IOs, referred to as 'non-democratic IOs' which are organizations
founded by autocracies. How do these newly emerged organizations
interrelate and interact with the outside world? How do they
counteract and confront the danger of democratization in their own
member states and neighboring states? This book aims to address
these questions by developing a new theory of authoritarian
regionalism, and by combining both quantitative and qualitative
analysis to test it. The quantitative analysis uses a large dataset
of all regional organizations worldwide for the post-World War II
period, with the aim of defining historical trends in development
and the modification of regionalism over the last seven decades
(1945-2015). Qualitative analysis refines and develops the argument
by looking at the case of post-Soviet Eurasia. The book uncovers a
new type of regionalism - 'authoritarian regionalism' and traces
its historical roots as well as its implications for modern
politics. The book is the first attempt to systematically
investigate the functioning and the impact of authoritarian
regionalism as a new phenomenon as well as its implications for
democratization world-wide. The book contributes to the theory of
regionalism, international organizations, studies of autocracies,
foreign policy, and democratization world-wide.
