Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

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.
