Abstract

This study provides two theoretical insights that contribute to the debate on the legitimacy of ingo s that promote democracy to intervene in the third countries’ political affairs. First, it argues that the level of legitimacy that political parties endow to ingo s depends on the “instrumental role” that ingo s play in bolstering the achievements of national partners’ goals and is not based on the values and norms that the ingo s promote. Second, it suggests that the degree of legitimacy that political parties grant to ingo s has to be understood as temporarily limited and context dependent. Using the case of ingo s involved in democracy promotion during the Tunisian democratization, this article argues that Tunisian political elites welcomed ingo s assistance during the initial phase of the democracy transition (2011–2014) because their assistance was helpful to enhance the establishment of democracy system and its procedures. The article suggests that since 2015, political parties are showing less enthusiasm about ingo s’ pressure and interference in national affairs because the action of ingo s is no longer useful to their political agenda.

将援助“工具化”。突尼斯民主化进程中英政府合法性的变化
本研究提供了两个理论见解,有助于就促进民主干预第三国政治事务的非政府组织的合法性展开辩论。首先,它认为,政党赋予非政府组织的合法性水平取决于非政府组织在促进国家合作伙伴目标实现方面发挥的“工具性作用”,而不是基于非政府组织倡导的价值观和规范。其次,它表明,政党给予非政府组织的合法性程度必须被理解为暂时有限的,并取决于背景。本文以突尼斯民主化过程中英政府参与民主促进的案例为例,认为突尼斯政治精英在民主过渡初期(2011-2014年)欢迎英政府的援助,因为他们的援助有助于加强民主制度及其程序的建立。文章指出,自2015年以来,各政党对英政府施压和干涉国家事务的热情越来越低,因为英政府的行动对其政治议程不再有用。

期刊介绍: The aim of MELG is to provide a peer-reviewed venue for academic analysis in which the legal lens allows scholars and practitioners to address issues of compelling concern to the Middle East. The journal is multi-disciplinary – offering contributors from a wide range of backgrounds an opportunity to discuss issues of governance, jurisprudence, and socio-political organization, thereby promoting a common conceptual framework and vocabulary for exchanging ideas across boundaries – geographic and otherwise. It is also broad in scope, discussing issues of critical importance to the Middle East without treating the region as a self-contained unit.
