Abstract
With the end of the Cold War at the latest, democracy promotion has become a major foreign policy tool of international organizations as well as Western statecraft.1 As the introductory chapter of this volume points out, there are several reasons for this development.

With the systemic competition between Communism and liberal democracy over, democracy promotion has become even more significant in their respective foreign policies.
