Abstract

[The results of transnational activism directed at Kenya and Uganda challenge prevailing scholarly views of democratization and external human rights mobilization. Transnational activism plays a more prominent and effective role in challenging authoritarian rule than in building sustainable democratic change after the fall of a repressive regime. In challenging authoritarianism, transnational mobilization succeeds in drawing attention to the situation, forcing the government to react with denial or concessions, pressuring donor governments to address the situation, and protecting domestic activists. Beyond initiating regime change, transnational mobilization plays a diminishing role and has more ambiguous effects on democratization.]
