| contents | Democratic Solidarity: Why Do Democracies Owe Support to Democracy Movements? Andreas Niederberger Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Democracy Human Rights Regime Change Philosophy of International Affairs This article starts by pointing out the internal tensions in the idea of a human right to democracy, which makes it difficult to use such a right as a normative reference for decisions on interfering in domestic conflicts in other states. Despite this, the second part of this article shows that it is still admissible for outsiders to interfere in domestic affairs when democracy is seriously curtailed or democratic revolutions are occurring. The article ends by showing why democracies owe support to democracy movements abroad. Democracies should show solidarity with these movements in the pursuit of their aim to democratize the political order of the state in question — a support that is not unconditional, but tied to a specific cause. 2013 artículo científico 0123-885X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=81528084006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=815 Revista de Estudios Sociales application/pdf Universidad de los Andes Revista de Estudios Sociales (Colombia) Num.46 |
