Abstract

The past decade, democracy has declined around the world. The share of democratic states is no longer expanding and previously stable democracies tend towards autocracy. What do these trends imply for international cooperation? This panel explores the complex relationship between autocracy and international cooperation, focusing on how member states engage with international organizations. The papers in the panel examine different issues on this topic, including the interaction between the formal design of organizations and the informal practices that autocratic regimes adopt to exert influence.
