While the international system has been evolving in an increasingly
liberal direction, the level of democratic practice within the
post-Soviet region has, on the whole, declined. Two decades after
the popular uprisings against communism, many governments in the
region have successfully blunted both popular and international
pressures for democratic consolidation. Each selection in this
volume explores how international factors interact with domestic
conditions to explain the persistence of authoritarianism
throughout the region. The selections in the volume cover several
countries, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, South
Ossetia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus; special attention is paid
to the Russian Federation since it is both a member of the region
and acts as an external actor influencing the political development
of its neighbors. This volume is especially relevant as the world
again experiences the surprising overthrow of long-running
authoritarian regimes. The failure of democratic consolidation
among post-Soviet states offers important lessons for policymakers
and academics dealing with the recent wave of political transitions
in the Middle East and Asia.

The aim of this edited volume is to bring back multilateralism in
global governance research by going beyond the state-centric and
formal models of multilateralism of the 1990s and deeper into the
informal private agents and structures of global governance. The
volume is situated within the third generation scholarly research
tying together disparate efforts from various disciplines, such as
International Relations, Public Administration, International Law
and International Political Economy under the overarching theme of
multilateralism approached from the three different angles:
normative dimensions of global governance, issue-areas, such as
migration and international trade, as well as the limits of
multilateralism.
