This book is a study of regime change in the context of international        administration, where the United Nations and other multilateral organisations hold        temporary executive authority at the domestic level. Work on the politics of        state-building has highlighted how these administration operations can influence        nearly every aspect of politics in the country or territory in which they are        deployed. This book concentrates in particular on the 'regime-building' practices of        thesemissions, and examines the aims and influences of international administrations        in the area of democratic development, as well as their ultimate impact on the        process of regime change. Through a comparative analysis of events in Bosnia, Kosovo        and East Timor, the book demonstrates how external actorsassume positions of power        conventionally held by domestic elites, and in so doing gain the ability to affect        democratic development in ways unavailable to international actors in more        conventional settings. In particular, the case studies highlight the ways in which        the democracy promotion objectives of international administrators can have both        positive and negative effects on democratization processes, with the presence of        international authorities helping to rule out non-democratic optionsin some areas,        while at times undermining democratic development in others. The book identifies the        key international actors involved, highlights the mechanisms of influence available        to them in these contexts, and explores the crucial mediating role of domestic        actors and structures.Oxford Studies in Democratization is a series for scholars and        students of comparative politics and related disciplines. Volumes concentrate on the        comparative study of the democratization process that accompanied the decline and        termination of the cold war. The geographical focus of the series is primarily Latin        America, the Caribbean, Southern and Eastern Europe, and relevant experiences in        Africa and Asia. The series editor is Laurence Whitehead, Official Fellow, Nuffield        College,University of Oxford.
