这期特刊探讨了西方在促进民主方面的努力,不自由的挑战者和地区大国的反应,以及目标国家的政治和社会状况。我们认为,西方大国并没有明确致力于促进民主和人权,而非民主的区域大国不能简单地被描述为“独裁支持者”。这篇文章介绍了这个特殊的问题。首先,如果狭隘的地区大国认为其在该地区的地缘战略利益或其政权的生存受到挑战,它们可能会对西方在第三国促进民主的努力作出回应。第二,西方民主推动者对不自由政权的反补贴政策的反应,如果他们将民主和人权目标置于稳定和安全目标之上,这反过来取决于他们对目标国家局势的看法以及他们与非民主区域大国的总体关系。第三,对当地的影响主要取决于国内部队的配置。西方民主的推动者可能会增强目标国家的自由派团体的力量,而非民主的地区大国的反制努力将增强非自由派团体的力量。然而,在某些情况下,不自由政权的反补贴努力具有通过加强民主精英和公民社会来促进民主的反直觉效果。
This special issue examines Western efforts at democracy promotion, reactions by illiberal challengers and regional powers, and political and societal conditions in target states. We argue that Western powers are not unequivocally committed to the promotion of democracy and human rights, while non-democratic regional powers cannot simply be described as “autocracy supporters”. This article introduces the special issue. First, illiberal regional powers are likely to respond to Western efforts at democracy promotion in third countries if they perceive challenges to their geostrategic interests in the region or to the survival of their regime. Second, Western democracy promoters react to countervailing policies by illiberal regimes if they prioritize democracy and human rights goals over stability and security goals which depends in turn on their perception of the situation in the target countries and their overall relationships to the non-democratic regional powers. Third, the effects on the ground mostly depend on the domestic configuration of forces. Western democracy promoters are likely to empower liberal groups in the target countries, while countervailing efforts by non-democratic regional powers will empower illiberal groups. In some cases, though, countervailing efforts by illiberal regimes have the counterintuitive effect of fostering democracy by strengthening democratic elites and civil society.
