International Commitments and Domestic Accountability: Analyzing the Spanish Elections and Results from a Two-Level Game Approach

Abstract:

Despite Spain's initial participation in the Coalition of the Willing, the March 2004 elections and subsequent new administration resulted in a drastic change to this government's international policy. The assumption that democratic governments are more likely to fulfill international cooperation commitments has been dominant in the domestic-international relations literature, yet must be questioned given these recent events. A major component of this hypothesis is that democratic leaders are those most constrained by domestic accountability. Evidently this was not the case in Spain as an estimated 90 percent of the Spanish people did not approve of Spain's participation in the U.S.-led military mission in Iraq. Analyzing the case study of Spain and implementing (and adding to) two-level games, we will demonstrate: 1) democratic governments that trivialize domestic accountability are less likely to fulfill international cooperation agreements, and 2) as a result, domestic politics do influence international outcomes on the bilateral, regional, and multinational levels.
