Previous research has assumed that state-building is a prerequisite
for democratization. This book challenges this assumption. An
alternative approach is presented. State-building and
democratization is regarded as two processes that may be integrated
with each other. When integrated, the two processes are expected to
be connected on different society level. The chapters address one
or other of the following questions: How is state-building and
democratization expected to be connected? How has the international
community approached weakened and failing states? How do
fundamental dimensions of state-building affect the probability for
democracy in new states? How are conflicts over boundaries a part
of state-building that affects the conditions for democratization?
How does the capital city play role in state-building and
democratization? How does inclusion and exclusion work? These
questions are explored through comparative analysis and examination
of recent cases of state-building and democracy. It is essential
reading for researchers that have an interest in state-building,
democratization, and formation of demos.
