About this book
Reviews
‘‘This outstanding book shows when, why and how regional organizations adopt and design regional democracy, human rights, and rule of law institutions. Combining mixed-methods with rigorous theory-driven analysis, Sören Stapel captures the broad picture, provides fascinating answers and highlights the interplay of demands and diffusion in two rich case studies on the OAS and OAU/AU. A must-read for all scholars of comparative regionalism.’’
