Democracy enjoys unparalleled prestige at the beginning of the
twenty-first century as a form of government. Some of the world's
most prosperous nations are democracies, and an array of nations in
Europe, Africa, and South America have adopted the system. This
globalization has also met resistance and provoked concerns about
international power exerted by institutions and elites that are
beyond the control of existing democratic institutions. In this
volume, leading scholars of democracy engage the key questions
about how far and how fast democracy can spread, and how
international agencies and international cooperation uneasily
affect national democracies. At first glance, the efforts of
intergovernmental organizations to intervene in a nation's
governance seem anything but democratic to that nation. The
contributors demonstrate why democracy has been so attractive and
so successful, but are also candid about what limits it may reach,
and why.
Contributors are Lisa Anderson, Larry Diamond, Zachary Elkins,
John R. Freeman, Brian J. Gaines, James H. Kuklinski, Peter F.
Nardulli, Melissa A. Orlie, Buddy Peyton, Paul J. Quirk, Wendy
Rahn, Bruce Russett, and Beth Simmons.
