Can democratic states transplant the seeds of democracy into developing countries? What have political thinkers going back to the Greek city-states thought about their capacity to promote democracy? How can democracy be established in divided societies? This books answers these and other fundamental questions behind the concept known as 'democracy promotion.' Following an illuminating concise discussion of what political philosophers from Plato to Montesquieu thought about the issue, the authors explore the structural preconditions (culture, divided societies, civil society) as well as the institutions and processes of democracy building (constitutions, elections, security sector reform, conflict, and trade). Along the way they share insights about what policies have worked, which ones need to be improved or discarded, and, more generally, what advanced democracies can do to further the cause of democratization in a globalizing world. In other words, they seek answers to the question, Is democracy exportable?

Democracy is in crisis. After the hope engendered by the Third Wave, democracies around the world are beleaguered with threats from multiple sources. What are these threats ? Where did they come from ? And how can the challenges to democratic governance best be overcome ? Grappling with these questions, the author interprets the danger signs that abound in the United States and Europe, in Asia and the Arab World, in Africa and Latin America, and offers innovative strategies for turning the tide.

Today between forty and sixty nations, home to over a billion people, have either collapsed or are teetering on the brink of failure. The world's worst problems--terrorism, drugs and human trafficking, absolute poverty, ethnic conflict, disease, genocide--originate in such states, and the international community has devoted billions of dollars to solving the problem. Yet by and large the effort has not succeeded. Ashraf Ghani and Clare Lockhart have taken an active part in the effort to save failed states for many years, serving as World Bank officials, as advisers to the UN, and as high-level

L'Europe vieillit et se dépeuple. L'Afrique déborde de jeunes et de vie. Une migration de masse va se produire. Son ampleur et ses conditions constituent l'un des plus grands défis du xxie siècle. L'Union européenne compte aujourd'hui 510 millions d'habitants vieillissants ; l'Afrique 1,25 milliard, dont quarante pour cent ont moins de quinze ans. En 2050, 450 millions d'Européens feront face à 2,5 milliards d'Africains. D'ici à 2100, trois personnes sur quatre venant au monde naîtront au sud du Sahara. L'Afrique " émerge ". En sortant de la pauvreté absolue, elle se met en marche. Dans un premier temps, le développement déracine : il donne à un plus grand nombre les moyens de partir. Si les Africains suivent l'exemple d'autres parties du monde en développement, l'Europe comptera dans trente ans entre 150 et 200 millions d'Afro-Européens, contre 9 millions à l'heure actuelle. Une pression migratoire de cette ampleur va soumettre l'Europe à une épreuve sans précédent, au risque de consommer la déchirure entre ses élites cosmopolites et ses populistes nativistes. L'État-providence sans frontières est une illusion ruineuse. Vouloir faire de la Méditerranée la douve d'une " forteresse Europe " en érigeant autour du continent de l'opulence et de la sécurité sociale des remparts - des grillages, un mur d'argent, une rançon versée aux États policiers en première ligne pour endiguer le flot - corrompt les valeurs européennes. L'égoïsme nationaliste et l'angélisme humaniste sont uniment dangereux. Guidé par la rationalité des faits, cet essai de géographie humaine assume la nécessité d'arbitrer entre intérêts et idéaux.
