This chapter investigates the substance of EU democracy promotion in two South Pacific states: the Solomon Islands and Fiji. The Solomon Islands and Fiji are particular in the sense that the domestic context made it necessary for the EU to ‘do something’ in the field of the partial regimes of liberal democracy. Unconstitutional changes of government are unacceptable to the EU and, as a rule, lead to the opening of the Article 96 procedure of the Cotonou Agreement, which allows the EU to employ sanctions, including the suspension of aid, after consultations with the host government (Portela 2010).
