This book reviews the interplay between domestic contexts and
democracy promotion efforts in selected countries of the former
Soviet Union and the Western Balkans. The idea behind the six case
studies is twofold. In the three cases where 'colour revolutions'
occurred (Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine), the authors explore the extent
to which external democracy promoters adapted their strategies to
respond to new domestic contexts. In the other three cases
(Azerbaijan, Belarus, Russia) the authors investigate how the
political leadership has reacted to 'colour revolutions' elsewhere
and which consequences their reactions have had for democracy
promotion. In all cases an assessment of democratization processes
in the country is provided as a basis for drawing conclusions about
the potential for domestic and foreign actors to promote democratic
development. An introduction and conclusion embed the case studies
in the existing literature on democracy promotion and generalize
the findings across the countries studied. On the practical level,
the volume offers suggestions for improving democracy promotion
endeavours, proposing in particular a more balanced approach which
goes beyond supporting specific individuals and organizations to
include addressing the structural level. This book was published as
a special issue of Democratization.
