| Summary |
In the past 25 years, a number of countries have made the transition to democracy. The support of international organisations is essential to success on this difficult path. Yet, despite extensive research into the relationship between democratic transitions and membership in international organisations, the mechanisms underlying the relationship remain unclear. Paul Poast and Johannes Urpelainen argue that leaders of transitional democracies often have to draw on the support of international organisations to provide the public goods and expertise needed to consolidate democratic rule. Looking at the Baltic states' accession to NATO, Poast and Urpelainen provide a compelling and statistically rigorous account of the sorts of support transitional democracies draw from international institutions. |
