Cr�ticas

Ted Piccone has produced a balanced, detailed, and hopeful analysis of the essential role these five emerging powers can play in addressing global demands for greater democracy and human rights. Europe's own contribution in this regard is well known. This book adds another untold dimension to the story and offers constructive ideas for building a stronger international consensus for universal values. --Javier Solana, former European Union High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy We have learned from our own national experience the importance of building democracy at home and of living with democratic neighbors. Piccone documents well how these two factors have propelled states like Brazil, India, and South Africa forward and recommends pragmatic ways to strengthen the international order. His assessment of recent history is timely and welcomed. --Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former President of Brazil In the many years I have known Ted Piccone, I have found him to be a thoughtful commentator on the subject of democratic transition and consolidation. His observations and perspectives are based on a deep understanding of democratic theory and practice. His analysis is enlightened by that experience, and this book is a welcome addition to the discussion of democratic development at a time when it is under threat. --Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada

Rese�a del editor

Shifting power balances in the world are shaking the foundations of the liberal international order and revealing new fault lines in the intersection of human rights and international security. Will these new global trends help or hinder the world's long struggle for human rights and democracy? The answer depends on the role of five rising democracies - India, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey, and Indonesia - as both examples and supporters of liberal ideas and practices. Advanced democracies remain devoted to the aim of building a world of stable, prosperous democracies. Authoritarian states are wedded to traditional concepts of sovereignty and nonintervention - regardless of the brutality of abuses on the ground. In the middle reside the rising democracies - states emerging from colonialism, apartheid, or military dictatorship but now firmly rooted in constitutional democracy and market-oriented economic policies that have lifted millions of people out of poverty. Ted Piccone analyzes the transitions of these five democracies as their stars rise on the international stage. While they offer important and mainly positive examples of the compatibility of political liberties, economic growth, and human development, their foreign policies swing between interest-based strategic autonomy and a principled concern for democratic progress and human rights. In a multipolar world, the fate of the international human rights and democracy order depends on how they reconcile these tendencies. Five Rising Democracies Examines the global contest for democracy and human rights Catalogs the recent history and current trajectories of these five rising democratic powers Provides data-rich analysis of recent progress and setbacks experienced by these five countries along with practical recommendations for building a North-South consensus on human rights and democracy
