Why read it?
1 author picked Aiding Democracy Abroad as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My first job after university was as a junior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where I worked on the Democracy and Rule of Law Project, headed by Tom Carothers. It was there that I first read Promoting Democracy Abroad.

From Geoffrey's list on promoting the rule of law.
