The advent of the European Neighbourhood Policy and new forms of association have introduced a new, third model of democracy promotion which rests in functional cooperation between administrations. This volume comparatively defines and assesses these three models of external democracy promotion in the EU's relations with its eastern and southern neighbours. It argues that while 'linkage' has hitherto failed to produce tangible outcomes, and the success of 'leverage' has basically been tied to an EU membership perspective, the 'governance' model of democracy promotion bears greater potential beyond the circle of candidate countries. This third approach, while not tackling the core institutions of the political system as such, but rather promoting transparency, accountability, and participation at the level of state administration, may turn out to remain the EU's most tangible form of democratic governance promotion in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eDemocratization\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Lavenex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415523117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415523110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Sandra Lavenex","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064929857791,"sku":"9780415523110","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34f68ca1-ff07-4dd6-addb-ca2c8e948d1a.jpg?v=1768671989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-promotion-in-the-eus-sandra-lavenex-9780415523110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
