This book adds to debates over the international dimensions of
democratic change by studying the policies and actions of three
sets of Western actors: namely, governments, multinational
companies, and international NGOs. This actor-based triangular
approach responds to observations that the strategic, economic, and
social aspects of international democracy have rarely been studied
in a combined, holistic fashion. During the 1990s, Western
governments, multinational companies, and civil society
organizations all came to engage more notably in debates over
democratic trends. But were they genuine when they professed a
concern with democracy in developing countries? Which of these
dynamics - governmental, commercial, or social - was the most
influential in propelling efforts to encourage democratization and
which helped explain the limits to democracy's international reach?
Did political, economic, and social actors form a broad network of
international democratic momentum, or did their respective
perspectives increasingly diverge? Exploring these questions, the
book presents extensive empirical material relating to Western
policies in a number of developing regions, covering the period
from the mid-1990s to 2003.
Oxford Studies in Democratization is a series for scholars and
students of comparative politics and related disciplines. Volumes
concentrate on the comparative study of the democratization process
that accompanied the decline and termination of the cold war. The
geographical focus of the series is primarily Latin America, the
Caribbean, Southern and Eastern Europe, and relevant experiences in
Africa and Asia. The series editor is Laurence Whitehead, Official
Fellow, Nuffield College, University of Oxford.
