Abstract
The first two chapters answered the who promotes what questions, but why is it that democracies promote democracy abroad? What triggers democracy promotion and what hinders it or, more precisely, what encourages and pushes and what constrains democracies to promote democracy abroad? This is the main puzzle of this study, the nature of which this chapter explores in theoretical terms.
