With the ending of white minority rule in South Africa, the
democratic elections in Mozambique and the renewed efforts at a
negotiated settlement of civil war in Angola, Southern Africa has
entered a new era. Much more is required, however, to ensure
lasting peace and security. The states on the subcontinent are
confronted with the twofold task of creating a sound multilateral
framework for conducting mutual relations and for accomodating the
dominant power-the new democratic South Africa. This book examines
the potential for-and the obstacles to-regional co-operation and
the process of regional institution-building, emphasizing the need
to develop a genuine and indigenous capability for managing and
resolving conflict. Throughout, the contributors explore ideas
about common norms, principles and concrete measures that lend
support for building confidence and security. Finally, the specific
experiences in organizing collective security in other parts of the
African continent are carefully analyzed.
Though scholarly attention to democracy promotion is increasing,
there is still little comparative and theoretically-based work on
the protagonists of democracy promotion. This book investigates the
motives that drive democracy promotion in a comparative and
theoretically oriented manner, exploring how democracy promoters
deal with conflicting objectives and the factors that shape their
behaviour. It also addresses the more policy-oriented debate on the
contemporary challenges to democracy promotion, focusing on US and
German policies towards three kinds of challenges: the emergence of
'radical' leftist governments in Bolivia and Ecuador, the political
rise of Islamist movements in Turkey and Pakistan, and the
consolidation of (semi-)authoritarian rule in Belarus and Russia.
In each case, North-Western democracy promoters have been
confronted with serious conflicts of objectives between security,
economic interests and democracy promotion. The analysis and
comparison of such situations in which democracy promoters have to
deal with competing objectives and make tough decisions provides
powerful evidence as to the factors that shape democracy promotion.
The Comparative International Politics of Democracy Promotion will
be of interest to students and scholars of international relations,
comparative politics, democratization studies and foreign policy.

The book examines all relevant models which have been employed in
settling ethno-territorial conflicts since the time of the League
of Nations. Eight of these models have been studied in-depth. The
aim of this analysis is to gain expertise and insights that could
prove relevant to resolving the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. This
potential is evaluated in the closing chapters of the volume where
novel ideas on how to apply the lessons of these cases to the
conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh are presented. This conflict carries
many features typical of ethno-territorial conflicts in present and
past times: it is neither unique, nor does its settlement depend on
others than the parties to the conflict. Rather it is - as in all
other cases - entrenched historical narratives and enemy images
which lead to zero-sum calculations and can conceivably only be
overcome in a gradual process.Content Part I Nagorno-Karabakh and
