With the people of more than one hundred nations living under
totalitarian or authoritarian rule, the promotion of democratic
development and democratic institutions is likely to be a complex
and difficult endeavor for many decades to come. In this collection
of papers, eight experienced practitioners and scholars report and
analyze what they have learned regarding practical complexities and
difficulties. The opening chapter sets current United States'
endeavors at promoting democracy into historical context,
describing the American sense of mission regarding the promotion of
democracy. A second chapter indicates how different authoritarian
regimes require different democratizing approaches. Next, an
analysis is presented to the consequences--intended and
otherwise--of political aid for donor-recipient relationships.
Recent efforts, particularly under Foreign Assistance Act programs,
are reviewed and assessed, with special attention to the failures.
Four chapters are devoted to the role of labor unions, business
associations, agrarian workers' organizations, and various types of
cooperatives have played in democracy promotion. A more theoretical
chapter identifies the intimate connections between freedom of
economic associations, political democracy, and the development of
thriving market economies. The concluding chapters report on
efforts to bring together a formal association of democracies; on
the advantages of separating out nongovernmental from governmental
programs of political aid; and on the empirical problems of program
design and evaluation in the democracy promotion field.
