The diffusion of markets and democracy around the world was a
defining feature of the late twentieth century. Many social
scientists view this economic and political liberalization as the
product of independent choices by national governments. This book
argues that policy and political changes were influenced heavily by
prior actions of external actors: not just other governments, but
international organizations and communities of experts. Drawing
together insights from economics, sociology, political science and
international relations, the contributors focus on four mechanisms
by which markets and democracy have diffused through interdependent
decision-making: coercion and the impact of powerful countries and
international actors; economic competition for markets and
investment; learning from experiences of other countries; and
emulation among countries. These mechanisms are tested empirically
using sophisticated quantitative techniques in areas as diverse as
capital account and investment policy, human rights and
democratization, and government downsizing, privatization and
taxation.
