Demokratie durch Entwicklungskonkurrenz

Abstract

Wie könnten Demokratisierungsprozesse weltweit wirksamer gefördert werden als bisher? Einige Autoren schlagen zu diesem Zweck bilaterale Verträge über einen Tausch von Entwicklungshilfe als Gegenleistung für institutionelle Reformen in Richtung Demokratie vor. Aus der Perspektive der Normativen Institutionenökonomik lassen sich jedoch zwei Probleme kollektiven Handelns identifizieren, die eine solche Entwicklungszusammenarbeit gegenwärtig erheblich erschweren. Diese Probleme könnten durch einen geeigneten Mechanismus globaler Governance überwunden werden. Die zentrale Idee des hier skizzierten Lösungsvorschlages ist die Herstellung von „Entwicklungskonkurrenz“ zwischen den Regierungen der Zielländer zum Zwecke der Demokratieförderung.
