Integrity of Elections : The Role of Regional Organizations

The first of its kind, this book examines the mandates of and initiatives on electoral processes -- including election observation, electoral technical assistance and gender main-streaming -- of six regional organisations, the African Union, the Association of South-east Asian Nations, the European Union, the League of Arab States, the Organization of American States and the Pacific Islands Forum.

This publication captures the experiences of each organisation, including the regional context, achievements, limitations, challenges and prospects.

This is a policy-oriented collection, and each chapter puts forward recommendations that could be food for thought for policy makers and practitioners.
