Thinking Strategically about Democracy Assistance (PDF, 403 kB)
This handbook explores ways in which development co-operation can contribute to the development of democracies in the developing world.
First, the dynamics of democratisation is discussed by focusing on such issues as political authority and citizenship and paths to democratisation. Second, the work takes a look at Finnish policy aims and instruments. Third, the various modalities of Finnish development co-operation available in the democracy, good governance and human rights sectors are explored. Finally, the handbook considers ways to make democracy support more efficient and effective.
