Abstract
Other regional organizations such as the Organization of American States, the (British) Commonwealth, and even the African Union have taken steps down a similar path by adopting formal agreements that commit their members to responding collectively in the event of "unconstitutional" regime changes. Since really existing democracy is a perpetually unfinished product, democratization will always be on the research agenda of political scientists. [...] since nothing seems to work well everywhere, they will have plenty of explaining to do.
