This book theorizes a mechanism underlying regime-change waves, the
deliberate efforts of diffusion entrepreneurs to spread a
particular regime and regime-change model across state borders. Why
do only certain states and non-state actors emerge as such
entrepreneurs? Why, how, and how effectively do they support regime
change abroad? To answer these questions, the book studies the
entrepreneurs behind the third wave of democratization, with a
focus on the new eastern European democracies - members of the
European Union. The study finds that it is not the strongest
democracies nor the democracies trying to ensure their survival in
a neighborhood of non-democracies that become the most active
diffusion entrepreneurs. It is, instead, the countries where the
organizers of the domestic democratic transitions build strong
solidarity movements supporting the spread of democracy abroad that
do. The book also draws parallels between their activism abroad and
their experiences with democratization and democracy assistance at
home.
