This work presents a study of the relevance and applicability of international relations theory in explaining the global push for liberal democracy by major Western powers and international organizations, including the UN, the EU and the international financial institutions such as the World Bank, and the IMF. Contributors discuss the theory and practice of the push for the internationalization of liberal democracy, debating the inadequacy of conventional international relations theorists and outlining an alternative research programme for future work.
