Academic studies Intervention measurements Theoretical and empirical research on the effect of foreign electoral intervention had been characterized as weak overall as late as 2011; however, since then a number of such studies have been conducted.

The study also found suggestive evidence that such interventions increased the risk of democratic breakdown in the targeted states. Among 938 "competitive national level executive elections" examined by Levin from 1946 to 2000, the United States intervened in 81 ...
