Abstract

The state of European and international relations has fundamentally changed since the EU kicked off its ‘democracy promotion’ agenda in the early 1990’s. At that time, expectations over democracy’s future were high (the End of History-paradigm coined by Francis Fukuyama), and democracy-building in the EU appeared vibrant while the EU positioned itself as a ‘normative power’. The assumption was that the Western model of liberal democracy is transferable and attractive for other world regions and that the West needed to disseminate its model externally.
