Over the past decade, Carothers has established himself as the
leading U.S. expert on democracy promotion. He is a powerful critic
not only of the nuts-and-bolts of democracy assistance but also of
U.S. grand strategy overall. -SAIS Review Promoting the rule of law
has become a major part of Western efforts to spread democracy and
market economics around the world. Yet, although programs to foster
the rule of law abroad have mushroomed, well-grounded knowledge
about what factors ensure success, and why, remains scarce. In
Promoting the Rule of Law Abroad, leading practitioners and
policy-oriented scholars draw on years of experience -in Russia,
China, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East,
and Africa -to critically assess the rationale, methods, and goals
of rule-of-law policies. These incisive, accessible essays offer
vivid portrayals and penetrating analyses of the challenges that
define this vital but surprisingly little-understood field.
