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 01614nam 2200373I 450 001 9910712016303321 005 20190628151853.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002489943 035 $a(OCoLC)1096432165 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002489943 100 $a20190412d2018 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMechanical characterization study of sintered silver pastes bonded in a double-lap configuration /$fPaul Paret [and five others] 210 1$a[Golden, Colorado] :$cNational Renewable Energy Laboratory,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (7 pages) $ccolor illustrations 225 1 $aNREL/CP ;$v5400-71381 300 $a"October 2018." 300 $a"Presented at American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 2018 International Technical Conference and Exhibition on Packaging and Integration of Electronic and Photonic Microsystems (InterPACK 2018) San Francisco, California August 27-30, 2018." 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (page 7). 606 $aSintering 615 0$aSintering. 700 $aParet$b Paul$01389431 712 02$aNational Renewable Energy Laboratory (U.S.), 712 12$aASME International Technical Conference and Exhibition on Packaging and Integration of Electronic and Photonic Microsystems. 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910712016303321 996 $aMechanical characterization study of sintered silver pastes bonded in a double-lap configuration$93473377 997 $aUNINA
