The agenda of external actors often includes a number of objectives
that do not necessarily and automatically go together. Fostering
security and stability in semi-authoritarian regimes collides with
policies aimed at the support of processes of democratization prone
to conflict and destabilization. Meanwhile, the promotion of
national self-determination and political empowerment might lead to
forms of democracy, partially incompatible with liberal
understandings. These conflicting objectives are often
problematized as challenges to the effectiveness of international
democracy promotion. This book presents systematic research about
their emergence and effects. The contributing authors investigate
(post-) conflict societies, developing countries, and authoritarian
regimes in Southeast Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. They
identify the socio-economic and political conditions in the
recipient country, the interaction between international and local
actors, and the capacity of international and local actors as
relevant for explaining the emergence of conflicting objectives.
And they empirically show that faced with conflicting objectives
donors either use a 'wait and see'-approach (i.e. not to act to
overcome such conflicts), they prioritize security, state-building
and development over democracy, or they compromise democracy
promotion with other goals. However, convincing strategies for
dealing with such conflicts still need to be devised. This book was
published as a special issue of Democratization.
