Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The paper supports the authors in the April 2002 Journal of Democracy issue in their arguments that, in our regime classifications, analysts should carefully assess not only electoral processes but also incumbents' record of respect or disrespect for democracy and the rule of law. As Larry Diamond declares, "Regime classification must, in part, assess the previous election, but it must also assess the intentions and capabilities of ambiguously democratic ruling elites, something that is very hard to do." Indeed, it is the argument of this chapter that the intentions and capabilities of elites should be assessed not only with respect to their administrations, as Diamond suggests, but also with respect to elections under their auspices. Using Peru's 2000 presidential election as a case study, the paper points out that, evaluating electoral processes just as they happen, international observers may be unable to secure the evidence necessary for judgment of the election. In the case of Peru's 2000 election, this paper shows that, not taking into account Alberto Fujimori's record of disrespect for democracy and the rule of law, international observers almost gave the election a passing grade.
