Domestic elites use membership of regional organizations to advance the cause of democracy since these organizations can manipulate the costs and benefits of democracy to important societal groups such as business elites or the military. 4aInternational agencies - Case studies 4aRegionalism (International organization) - Case studies  a09252/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a09252/MKRI-P/XI-2008
