Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

This book examines the substance of European Union (EU) democracy promotion by comparing it with the norms of governance that the other international actors promote, among them are the United Nations, the United States, the Central and East European EU member states, Russia, China and non-governmental organizations. It offers a better understanding of the EUs democracy promotion agenda and the (in) distinctiveness of the norms diffused by the EU. Building on a common conceptual introduction, the chapters follow different theoretical approaches and research designs, and focus on a range of diverse case studies. This book concludes that, in comparison with the other international actors, the EUs conceptual approach to democracy promotion is diffuse, which in turn makes the EU a particularly flexible but also technical democracy promoter when it comes to implementation. At the same time, there are limits to flexibility at the level of concepts and frames. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Cambridge Review of International Affairs.
