The final important actor on the international stage to push for democracy during the Third Wave was the European Union (EU). The EU is a supranational organization that distributes subsidies and benefits and controls or influences important elements of monetary, trade, agricultural, and other policies for its 27 member countries. It imposed strict membership qualifications for its members. For instance, countries that wish to join them must adopt fully democratic rules. This pressure helped advance the Third Wave, especially in Eastern and Southern Europe. Many countries had strong interests in joining the EU for its economic benefits, and EU's stringent membership qualifications has thus helped spread democracy.

One of the most common causes of regime change from democracy to non-democracy is a military coup, which occurs when elements in a country's armed forces overthrow a democratically elected civilian government and take control. Most military coups target non-democratic rulers rather than democratic regimes. However, coups against democratic regimes continue to occur. For example, in Thailand, the military overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006.

There are two ways economic change leads to political change. The first
approach focuses on interestsspecifically, the way economic development can
bring about the rise of new social classes, who then have strong desire to fight for
access to political power. The second approach emphasizes identitiesspecifically,
the way economic modernization changes people's values so that they grow more
supportive of democracy.

The First Wave began in the early 1800s with the emergence of democracy in
several countries in North America and Western Europe, including the United States and the UK. In the late 1920s, the first reverse wave began, as several of these countriesmost notably Germanycollapsed into dictatorship. In 1945, the defeats of Hitler's Nazi regime and the Japanese and Italian dictatorships brought about the second wave of democratization. The Allied victors of World War II imposed democracy in Germany, Japan, and Italy and restored it to a few other European countries. A second reverse wave began in during the Cold War era, when several newer democraciessuch as those in Latin America collapsed. However, the Third Wave of democratization began in the mid-1970s with the collapse of a longstanding dictatorship in Portugal. A few countries in Africa and Asia also began to shift toward democracy, but large swaths of the world remain dominated by not free non-democratic regimes.
