Opis

Aid to promote democracy abroad has emerged as a major growth industry in the 1990s. Many Western countries, international institutions and private foundations use aid to support democratic transitions in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. This text provides an independent assessment of efforts in this field, drawing on extensive field research and years of hands-on research. It examines democracy aid programmes relating to elections, political parties, governmental reform, rule of law, civil society, independent media and other elements of the democracy template.
