For governments, electoral misconduct is a tempting but also a risky practice, because it represents a violation of internationalstandards for free and fair elections. In Defending Democratic Norms, Daniela Donno examines how international actors respond to these norm violations. Which governments are punished for manipulating elections? Does international norm enforcement make a difference? Donno shows that althoughenforcement is selective and relatively rare, when international actors do employ tools of conditionality, diplomacy, mediation and shaming in response to electoral misconduct, they can have transformative effects on both the quality and outcome of elections. Specifically, enforcement works by empowering the domestic opposition and increasing the government's incentives to reform institutions of electoral management and oversight. These effects depend, however, on the presence of a viableopposition movement, as well as on the strength and credibility of the enforcement effort itself. The book shows that regional international organizations possess unique sources of leverage and legitimacy that make them the most consistently effective norm defenders, even compared to more materiallypowerful actors like the United States. Drawing on an original dataset from almost 700 elections and incorporating case studies from the Dominican Republic, Serbia, Armenia, Kenya and Cambodia, Defending Democratic Norms is a bold new theory of international norm enforcement that demonstrates the importance of active international intervention in domestic politics. 606 $aElection monitoring 606 $aContested elections 606 $aDemocratization 606 $aComparative government 606 $aPolitics and Government$2ukslc 608 $aElectronic books.$2lcsh 615 0$aElection monitoring. 615 0$aContested elections. 615 0$aDemocratization. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 7$aPolitics and Government. 676 $a324.65 700 $aDonno$b Daniela$0951181 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 801 2$bStDuBDSZ 801 2$bUkPrAHLS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462697003321 996 $aDefending democratic norms$92150246 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03341nam 2200757 450 001 9910460534003321 005 20211109143652.0 010 $a0-262-52991-2 010 $a0-262-32786-4 035 $a(CKB)3710000000337351 035 $a(EBL)3339930 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001404611 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12604472 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001404611 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11402326 035 $a(PQKB)10369463 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3339930 035 $a(CaBNVSL)mat07040497 035 $a(IDAMS)0b0000648293c763 035 $a(IEEE)7040497 035 $a(WaSeSS)IndRDA00079906 035 $a(OCoLC)900409008$z(OCoLC)905660827$z(OCoLC)1059016568$z(OCoLC)1086547383 035 $a(OCoLC-P)900409008 035 $a(MaCbMITP)9963 035 $a(PPN)220188912$9sudoc 035 $a(PPN)191303143 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3339930 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11006438 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL695401 035 $a(OCoLC)900409008 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000337351 100 $a20151223d2015 uy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBig data, little data, no data $escholarship in the networked world /$fChristine L.

In many cases, there are no data -- because relevant data don't exist, cannot be found, or are not available. Moreover, data sharing is difficult, incentives to do so are minimal, and data practices vary widely across disciplines. She argues that data have no value or meaning in isolation; they exist within a knowledge infrastructure -- an ecology of people, practices, technologies, institutions, material objects, and relationships. Borgman offers case studies of data practices in the sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities, and then considers the implications of her findings for scholarly practice and research policy. --$cEdited summary from book. 606 $aCommunication in learning and scholarship$xTechnological innovations 606 $aResearch$xMethodology 606 $aResearch$xData processing 606 $aInformation technology 606 $aInformation storage and retrieval systems 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommunication in learning and scholarship$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aResearch$xData processing. 615 0$aInformation technology. 615 0$aInformation storage and retrieval systems. 676 $a004 700 $aBorgman$b Christine L.$0627824 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460534003321 996 $aBig data, little data, no data$91903389 997 $aUNINA
