Democracy and its Recent Surge in the World
Web LinksUniversity of Michigan Documents Center: International Agencies
Another of the excellent University of Michigan sites,
this site offers no less than a comprehensive listing of all major
international organizations and related Web resources. http://www.lib.umich.edu/libhome/Documents.center/intl.html International Studies Resources
This is a comprehensive listing of a wide range of political resources; with
a strong emphasis on various issues that relate to democratization, this is
a good site to browse through. http://www.etown.edu/vl/ Political Database of the Americas, maintained by Georgetown
University
This database focuses on studying the strengthening of Latin American
democratic regimes (which along with Eastern Europe
have been the focus of the most visible recent democratization). The
site brings together documentary and statistical political information
on this important region. http://www.georgetown.edu/pdba/ National Endowment for Democracy (NED)
This is an organization committed to strengthening democratic institutions around the world, which produces the "Journal of Democracy" an excellent resource
for further research in the area. http://www.ned.org/ Selected Speeches and Writing of Czech Republic President
Vaclav Havel
This famous dissident-turned-President has become
something of a global icon for both romantic idealists, and pragmatic realism of democracy. His speeches and writings have a very
wide (international) following; selected pieces from the past few
years are presented here at his official presidential Web site.
Whether or not you agree with his ideas, they are always stimulating. http://www.hrad.cz/president/Havel/speeches/index_uk.html |
