EU external democracy promotion has traditionally been based on
linkage, i.e. bottom-up support for democratic forces in third
countries, and leverage, i.e. the top-down inducement of political
elites towards democratic reforms through political conditionality.
The advent of the European Neighbourhood Policy and new forms of
association have introduced a new, third model of democracy
promotion which rests in functional cooperation between
administrations. This volume comparatively defines and assesses
these three models of external democracy promotion in the EU s
relations with its eastern and southern neighbours. It argues that
while linkage has hitherto failed to produce tangible outcomes, and
the success of leverage has basically been tied to an EU membership
perspective, the governance model of democracy promotion bears
greater potential beyond the circle of candidate countries. This
third approach, while not tackling the core institutions of the
political system as such, but rather promoting transparency,
accountability, and participation at the level of state
administration, may turn out to remain the EU s most tangible form
of democratic governance promotion in the future.
