Engineering Revolution by Marlene Spoerri
Drawing from declassified CIA documents, personal interviews, and internal NGO documents, Engineering Revolution uncovers the true extent of the West's involvement in the overthrow of Balkan dictator Slobodan Milosevic-finding that Western governments often hurt, rather than helped, Serbia's tenuous transition to democracy.
"A searching, and at times unsettling examination of a critical case of international democracy support, with important lessons for practitioners, policy experts, and activists" * Thomas Carothers, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace *
"A thoughtful analysis of the events in Serbia during 1991-2012 with an emphasis on the role played by foreign democracy promoters." * Lincoln Mitchell, Columbia University *
"Presenting original research and balanced analysis, Engineering Revolution offers a useful corrective to the dominant celebratory views of democracy promotion." * Eric Gordy, University College London *
