About this book

The book investigates the substance of the European Union's (EU) democracy promotion policy. It focuses on elections, civil and political rights, horizontal accountability, effective power to govern, stateness, state administrative capacity, civil society, and socio-economic context as components of embedded liberal democracy.

Reviews

“It addresses a very important and challenging topic by offering extremely rich and well-organised material. … book is balanced both in terms of depth of analysis and breadth of empirical evidence. The use of a solid theoretical framework, the smart selection of cases, and a wide range of primary and secondary resources make the book a reliable source of information and insights for researchers and students … . an engaging and substantial addition to the democratisation and democracy promotion literature.” (Aijan Sharshenova, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 68 (2), 2016)

“The editors have gathered a good group of contributors predominantly with area expertise which guarantees the empirical research. … In any case, the book is a highly valuable addition to the literature on democracy promotion.” (Carlos Closa Montero, JCMS Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol.54 (6), 2016)
