| Summary |
"Recent years have seen a decline in the number of democracies in the world, even as international legal architecture supporting democracy has expanded. Taking an empirical approach, this volume shows that democracies have been the primary producers of international legal norms, but authoritarians are learning to use the international legal system to their advantage. Regional organizations have a mixed record in defending democracy, but are likely to play an important role in the future if democracy is to withstand the authoritarian wave. Liberalism, though battered, will survive as a force in international law for the foreseeable future"-- Provided by publisher |
