“…Future work might also explore whether and how the nature of signals promotes democratization after successful coups. Recent work shows that coups are surprisingly good for democratization, particularly in states unlikely to democratize (Thyne and Powell ). It would be useful to uncover whether the reaction of the international community plays a role in promoting democracy among post‐coup states.…”

“…Among the 228 successful coups coded by Powell and Thyne (), around 65% occurred in nondemocracies . Though coups increase the likelihood of democratization (Thyne and Powell ), they most often replace one authoritarian leader with another. This means that international actors are less likely to react to coups within nondemocracies because they are less of a threat to the democratic community.…”

“…The normative commitment became even stronger at the end of the Cold War, when the international community was emboldened to spread and institutionalize democracy. This led a variety of actors to agree to condemn coups, resulting in an anti‐coup norm (Thyne and Powell ). Surprisingly, democracies and densely democratic institutions were not the only actors who committed to punishing coup states.…”

“…Improving our understanding of international responses to coups is also important for researchers focusing on democratization. Recent studies have shown that coups increase the likelihood of democratization (Thyne and Powell ), and that postcoup elections happen more quickly in the post‐Cold War world (Goemans and Marinov ). Both studies theorize that international support for democratization plays a key role in both outcomes.…”

With ten attempts since 2010, coups d'état are surprisingly common events with vital implications for a state's political development. Aside from being disruptive internally, coups influence interstate relationships. Though coups have important consequences, we know little about how the international community responds to these upheavals. This paper explores what drives global actors to react to coups. Our theory differentiates between normative concerns (for example, protection of democracy) and material interests (for example, protection of oil exports) as potential determinants of international responses to coups. We argue that coups against democracies, coups after the Cold War, and coups in states heavily integrated into the international community are all more likely to elicit global reaction. Using newly collected data, we explore the number of signals that states and IOs send to coup states from 1950 to 2011. The analyses reveal that coups against democracies and wealthy states draw more attention. States react when democracies are challenged by coups, while IOs react to coups in Africa and coups during the post‐Cold War period. We surprisingly find that heavy traders and oil‐rich states do not necessarily receive more reaction, suggesting that international actors are more driven by normative concerns than material interests when reacting to coups.

“…Y ¿qué relación entre los dos anteriores y la cooperación internacional? La relevancia de introducir la cooperación internacional para el desarrollo en la ecuación proviene de que ha sido históricamente usada como una herramienta de la política exterior de las potencias mundiales en apoyo o confrontación a Gobiernos autocráticos o cuestionados (Thyne y Powell, 2014 políticas surgen en momentos paradójicos, en los cuales las reformas de gestión pública cobran especial relevancia: 1) para revertir lo que no gustó; 2) para legitimar el nuevo Gobierno, es decir, trabajar en una dimensión simbólica; 3) para implementar cambios que se esperan eficaces; y 4) por réditos, a saber, por interés propio o colectivo cercano.…”
