But when more organizations join the practice without uniform standards, are assessments reliable? When politicians nonetheless cheat and monitors must return to countries even after two decades of engagement, what is accomplished? Monitoring Democracy argues that the practice of international election monitoring is broken, but still worth fixing. By analyzing the evolving interaction between domestic and international politics, Judith Kelley refutes prevailing arguments that international efforts cannot curb government behavior and that democratization is entirely a domestic process. Yet, she also shows that democracy promotion efforts are deficient and that outside actors often have no power and sometimes even do harm. Analyzing original data on over 600 monitoring missions and 1,300 elections, Kelley grounds her investigation in solid historical context as well as studies of long-term developments over several elections in fifteen countries. She pinpoints the weaknesses of international election monitoring and looks at how practitioners and policymakers might help to improve them. 606 $aElection monitoring 606 $aElection monitoring$vCase studies 610 $aCold War. 610 $aIGOs. 610 $aNGOs. 610 $acivil rights. 610 $ademocracy promotion. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $adomestic governance. 610 $adomestic political process. 610 $adomestic politics. 610 $adomestic potential. 610 $aelection cheating. 610 $aelection monitoring. 610 $aelection monitors. 610 $aelection patterns. 610 $aelection quality. 610 $aelections. 610 $aelectoral cheating. 610 $aelectoral process. 610 $afairness. 610 $afreedom. 610 $aglobal governance. 610 $agood electoral practices. 610 $agovernments. 610 $ahonesty. 610 $aindividual elections. 610 $ainternational community. 610 $ainternational election monitoring. 610 $ainternational institutions. 610 $ainternational leaders. 610 $ainternational leverage. 610 $ainternational monitors. 610 $ainternational organizations. 610 $ainternational politics. 610 $ainternational standards. 610 $amedia organizations. 610 $amonitoring efforts. 610 $amonitoring information. 610 $amonitoring organizations. 610 $amonitoring process. 610 $amonitoring. 610 $amonitors. 610 $anonrandom intervention. 610 $aorganizational delegation. 610 $apolitical conditionality. 610 $apolitical rights. 610 $apoliticians. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aqantitative data. 610 $arecommendations. 610 $areinforcement. 610 $arisky irregularities. 610 $asafer irregularities. 610 $ashadow market. 610 $askeptics. 610 $astability. 610 $atransnational actors. 615 0$aElection monitoring. 615 0$aElection monitoring 676 $a324.6/5 700 $aKelley$b Judith Green$01486676 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789980603321 996 $aMonitoring democracy$93706253 997 $aUNINA
