What have political thinkers going back to the Greek city-states thought about their capacity to promote democracy? How can democracy be established in divided societies? This books answers these and other fundamental questions behind the concept known as 'democracy promotion.' Following an illuminating concise discussion of what political philosophers from Plato to Montesquieu thought about the issue, the authors explore the structural preconditions (culture, divided societies, civil society) as well as the institutions and processes of democracy building (constitutions, elections, security sector reform, conflict, and trade). Along the way they share insights about what policies have worked, which ones need to be improved or discarded, and, more generally, what advanced democracies can do to further the cause of democratization in a globalizing world. In other words, they seek answers to the question, Is democracy exportable? 606 $aDemocracy$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a321.809172/4 702 $aBarany$b Zoltan D. 702 $aMoser$b Robert G.$f1966- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777912503321 996 $aIs democracy exportable?$93783344 997 $aUNINA
