Abstract:
|
Since 1975, democracy has become the world's most common form of government. With the advance of this third wave of democratization, developed countries such as the United States have implemented explicit strategies of democracy promotion by providing assistance to governments, political parties, and other non-governmental groups and organizations. This aid has been delivered through a variety of channels, including official aid agencies such as the U.S Agency for International Development (USAID) and quasi-governmental foundations such as the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy (NED). How successful has such assistance been? This project examines U.S. democratization and democracy assistance from 1990-2001 through USAID and the NED. It relies on a dataset composed principally of democratization data for the developing world and assistance provided the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID. Additional control variables include growth in wealth, progress in education, the impact of culture, as well as U.S. economic and political interests. With this original dataset, the project: a) identifies patterns in official and foundation strategies and outcomes; b) assesses the overall relationship between democracy assistance and democratization. It concludes by weighing the implications of these findings for democratization and democracy promotion policies. |
