Beset with persistent problems of self-interest, corruption,
ideological incoherence, and narrow electoral majorities, political
parties are the weakest link in many democratic transitions around
the world. A large and ever-growing number of U.S., European, and
multilateral assistance programs seek to help parties become
effective pro-democratic actors. But given the depth of the
problems, is success possible? Confronting the Weakest Link is a
pathbreaking study of international aid for political parties.
Beginning with a penetrating analysis of party shortcomings in
developing and postcommunist countries, Thomas Carothers draws on
extensive field research to diagnose chronic deficiencies in party
aid, assess its overall impact, and offer practical ideas for doing
better. This critical analysis spans Latin America, Central and
Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Africa, the Middle East,
and Asia. It sheds invaluable light on a major element of the
contemporary challenge of democracy building, a subject now
occupying center stage in the international policy arena.
