This perceived political success has been used to justify an industry tasked with "exporting" democracy to countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Tunisia, and Egypt. Yet the true extent of the West's involvement in Milo?evi?'s overthrow remained unclear until now. Engineering Revolution uses declassified CIA documents and personal interviews with diplomats, aid providers, and policymakers, as well as thousands of pages of internal NGO documents, to explore what proponents consider one of the greatest successes of the democracy promotion enterprise. Through its in-depth examination of the two decades that preceded and followed Milo?evi?'s unseating, as well as its critical look at foreign assistance targeting Serbia's troubled political party landscape, Engineering Revolution upends the conventional wisdom on the effectiveness of democracy promotion in Serbia. Marlene Spoerri demonstrates that democracy took root in Serbia in spite of, not because of, Western intervention?in fact, foreign intervention often hurt rather than helped Serbia's tenuous transition to democracy. As Western governments recalibrate their agendas in the wake of the Arab Spring, this timely book offers important lessons for the democracy promotion community as it sets its sights on the Middle East, former Soviet Union, and beyond. 606 $aDemocratization$zSerbia 606 $aDemocratization$xGovernment policy$zSerbia 606 $aDemocratization$xInternational cooperation$zSerbia 606 $aRegime change$zSerbia 606 $aPolitical parties$zSerbia 607 $aSerbia$xPolitics and government$y1992-2006 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocratization$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDemocratization$xInternational cooperation 615 0$aRegime change 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a320.9497109/0511 700 $aSpoerri$b Marlene$01036747 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465127103321 996 $aEngineering revolution$92457265 997 $aUNINA
