Toward a new paradigm

Article Abstract:

It can be argued that less-developed countries need democracy, but that the democratic institutions and processes these countries can afford are limited. When seeking to promote democracy, donors must consider the cost much more than is the case at present, when many democratization programmes fail to take account of issues of affordability and long-term sustainability. Developments in the areas of civil society, elections and political parties are making democracy too expensive for less-developed countries to support alone.
