With the promotion of democracy becoming an increasingly important element of European Union foreign policy, the contributors argue that the question of what is actually being promoted by the EU in third countries must come to the fore of academic and practical discussions. Dealing with the democratic agenda promoted by the EU, this collection focuses on elections, civil and political rights, horizontal accountability, effective power to govern, stateness, state administrative capacity, civil society, and socio-economic development as components of embedded liberal democracy. The conceptual part of the book includes an analytical framework and critical discussions from law, political economy, critical social theory and governance perspectives. The empirical part contains 11 chapters where the common analytical framework is applied to 22 country cases"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Foreign relations. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Democracy $x Government policy $z European Union countries. 650 0 $a Democratization $x Government policy $z European Union countries. 650 0 $a Democratization $z Former communist countries. 650 0 $a Democratization $z Developing countries. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Relations $z Former communist countries. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Relations $z Developing countries. 651 0 $a Former communist countries $x Relations $z European Union countries. 651 0 $a Developing countries $x Relations $z European Union countries. 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Economic Conditions. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Democracy $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890084 650 7 $a Democratization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890123 650 7 $a Democratization $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890125 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Developing countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242969 651 7 $a Europe $z European Union countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01269470 651 7 $a Former communist countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01298680 700 1 $a Wetzel, Anne, $d 1979- $e editor. 700 1 $a Orbie, Jan, $d 1978- $e editor. 830 0 $a Governance and limited statehood series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020024009.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7622A1EE55EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
