Democracy and International Relations : Critical Theories, Problematic Practices. Este artículo no está disponible.Democracy and International Relations : Critical Theories, Problematic Practices

Democracy and International Relations is the first study of the relevance and applicability of international relations theory to the explanation of the contemporary global push for liberal democracy by the major western powers and international organizations - including the UN, the EU and the international financial institutions such as the World Bank, and the IMF. Contributors discuss the theory and practice of the push for the internationalization of liberal democracy - arguing for the inadequacy of conventional international relations theorists and outlining an alternative research programme for future work.
