This volume offers a concise and accessible overview of the
promotion and defence of democracy in the Americas, examining the
nature of challenges to democracy in Latin America, the role of
regional organizations as democracy promoters, and the
transformation of Inter-American relations. Taking the
Inter-American Democratic Charter of 2001 as a baseline it charts
the evolution of the issue over the past decade. Heine and Weiffen
provide a comprehensive examination of the promotion and defence of
democracy in the Western Hemisphere, beginning with background
information and historical antecedents, and moving on to take into
consideration the specific nature of the challenges to democracy in
the Americas and power shifts in the region. The authors analyze
democratic norms, norm enforcement mechanisms and how they work in
practice, with a particular focus on the 2009 Honduras coup.Seeking
to provide a discussion that pays more attention to the role of the
OAS, rather than simply focusing on US foreign policy, the authors
examine whether the United States still act as regional hegemon,
and how the role of emerging regional powers such as Brazil and
Venezuela are challenging that position of the hegemon. This work
will be of great interest to students and scholars of
democratization, US-Latin American relations, international
relations of Latin-America and international organizations.
