In conclusion, as Schmitz suggests, in addition to the pressures of the INGOs on the norm-breaking states, transnational mobilization ‘diffuses norms of democratic governance across the globe and affects domestic political change’ International politics of democratic consolidation 41 (2004a: 418). However, one point that should be raised in this regard is the democratic nature of NGOs or INGOs. As discussed before, the advocacy networks or the INGOs and NGOs should encompass democratic mentality and methodology in order to exert a democratic impact on the states concerned.
Although the significance of the international realm is generally accepted by the leading scholars of the discipline, few theoretically and empirically sophisticated models, approaches, devices or tools have been designed to analyse how international variables influence domestic political development. Thus, the discipline of Comparative Politics has few, if any, analytical instruments in its conceptual tool kit to analyse and explain it. Politics students should combine Comparative Politics and International Relations, two very important sub-disciplines of Political Science, in order to analyse domestic–international interaction and democratization.
This underestimation might partly be due to the international positions of the INGOs at the time. However, the number and significance of international non-governmental organizations in the international and domestic area has been continuously on the increase. As far as democracy and human rights are concerned, parallel to the increasing saliency of the INGOs in world politics, analytical studies of how these organizations exert an impact on domestic regimes have started to increase in number. For example, the role of Amnesty International (Brysk 1993; Bouandel 1997: 69–95; Keck and Sikkink 1998: 103–10; Clark 2001) and Charter 77 in Eastern Europe during the Cold War (Chilton 1995) can be considered as good examples as far as the effect of transnational non-governmental organizations on the regime change of an authoritarian country is concerned.
