Abstract:
|
Democracy is considered to be the best regime to stabilize a chaotic state. This study goes beyond a simple assessment of the presence of democracy to examine specific components of democracy for their specific contributions to state stability. Holding other components constant, I hypothesize that an increase in international pressure is related to an increase in reconciliation of ethnic conflicts in former authoritarian societies such as Croatia and Bosnia. This study first tests, through cross-tab analyses, whether a relationship exists between international demands for reconciliation and internal state stability. It also tests the nature of this relationship through regression analyses of 116 countries, using 23 separate democratic, economic, management and development variables. These tests are based on the Bertelsmann Transformation Index, 2003. For this study, international cooperation exists when there is, for example, sharing of technologies, institutional learning across borders and reciprocal economic agreements. Conversely, international pressure is defined by the use of sanctions, embargoes, negative publicity and other forms of economic and political exclusion. States are naturally vested in the security of other states. This study helps identify the roles that states should play in the internal conflicts of other sovereign states. It also helps identify the criteria that other states may use in deciding whether to assist states in their efforts to democratize. |
