Description
Monitors and Meddlers provides a comprehensive analysis of how foreign governments and international organizations influence local trust in electoral processes. Sarah Sunn Bush and Lauren Prather investigate the complex dynamics between external actors and domestic political systems, revealing how election monitoring and interference activities impact public confidence in democratic institutions.
The authors examine case studies from various regions to demonstrate the multifaceted ways foreign actors operate within electoral contexts. They distinguish between legitimate election monitoring intended to strengthen democratic processes and malicious interference designed to undermine electoral legitimacy. The book addresses critical questions about sovereignty, transparency, and the unintended consequences of international involvement in domestic elections.
Drawing on extensive research and fieldwork, this volume offers insights for policymakers, election officials, and scholars interested in understanding electoral integrity, international relations, and democratic governance in an increasingly interconnected world.
