This book traces and conceptualises the changing notion of
democracy and demonstrates how democracy promotion finds itself at
the heart of contemporary international discourses and policies.
Democracy promotion is widely considered to constitute a
hypocritical and failed 'grand international narrative' of the
1990s and has allegedly been replaced by other, more pressing and
academically more captivating concerns, such as conflict
management, statebuilding and climate change. This book challenges
this position and argues that the core notions of democracy
promotion, such as empowerment, inclusion and responsiveness, are a
key concern of contemporary international policymakers. Drawing on
the work of Michel Foucault, Hannah Arendt as well as John Dewey,
it investigates the notion of democracy and modality of its
promotions through the policy fields of conflict management,
statebuilding and climate change. The central development, the book
observes, is the reconceptualisation of democracy from the
constituted sphere of the public to the lived relations of the
social. The book argues that the novel rationality of democracy and
its promotion offers a particular solution to governing impasses in
a world perceived to be globalised and complex, which accounts for
democracy's current but neglected centrality. This book will be of
much interest to students of democracy, intervention,
statebuilding, global governance and IR in general.
