Concluding Remarks: How Best to Promote Democracy Using Foreign Policy ToolsReviewsLiberal Interventionism and Democracy Promotion is empirically rich collection of well-researched studies that illuminates how various external actors--states, international organizations such as the UN, IMF, and EU, and transnational non-governmental organizations--can further democratization in targeted countries. It addresses some key questions in the vast literature on democratization, offering in many respects an optimistic and occasionally provocative take on the ability of outside actors to promote democracy. It deserves a wide audience among both academics and policy-makers. -- Kubicek, Paul This is a welcome, finely wrought volume about the oft-misunderstood problem of liberal interventionism. Peksen and his analysts have offered an empirical analysis with a broad sweep that reveals some surprising answers to conventional wisdom. This sophisticated treatment sheds light on enduring questions, and opens a variety of new ones. -- Morrison, KC Author InformationDursun Peksen is assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at East Carolina University.
