An excellent up-to-date introduction to democracy promotion is long overdue. This book’s subtle, challenging yet forward-looking analysis offers much more. It should be read by anyone with an interest in the subject. Peter Burnell, University of Warwick, UK.
Anyone who wishes to make sense of global politics in the twenty-first century will have to understand the meaning and dynamics of democracy promotion. Jeff Bridoux and Milja Kurki have provided a critical primer on this major new component of Western policy that will be of great interest to students, scholars and policymakers alike.William I. Robinson, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA.
Asking hard questions and eschewing easy answers, this stimulating, insightful study take the reader on an absorbing journey into the heart of the key debates and dilemmas defining democracy promotion today. Thomas Carothers, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, USA.
Democracy Promotion asks all the right questions, providing an extraordinarily illuminating introduction not only to the practices and ideologies of contemporary democracy promotion per se, but also to many of the basic ideas of critical theories. While showing that democracy promotion has been closely connected to neoliberalisation and related hegemonic conceptions, Bridoux and Kurki carefully avoid over-simplications and conclude that democracy promotion is a multi-faceted practice which presents also opportunities for genuine emancipatory change. Highly recommended for students and practitioners of democracy across the world!
Heikki Patomäki, Professor of World Politics, University of Helsinki, Finland.
This critical introduction to democracy promotion seeks to provide students with an understanding of some of the key dynamics and contentions revolving around this controversial policy agenda.
Specifically, this textbook examines democracy promotion through seeking to answer, from the perspective of an approach informed by ‘critical theory’, a set of important questions often posed to democracy promoters, such as:
The book suggests a set of provocative answers to these questions and also puts forward a set of challenges for democracy promoters and supporters to take on today.
Democracy Promotion serves as an effective introduction to an increasingly topical policy agenda for students and general readers and, at the same time, seeks to advance an important set of new critical perspectives for practitioners and policy-makers of democracy promotion to consider.
