Worth reading |
|
 This installment of Worth Reading includes information about the release of Asiabarometer’s survey data and a February 2009 Carnegie Paper on “Stepping Back from Democratic Pessimism,” by Thomas Carothers.
 This week’s Worth Reading is the 2008 Annual Report on International Religious Freedom, an annual survey prepared by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. The report documents “the actions of governments---those that repress religious expression, persecute believers, and tolerate violence against religious minorities, as well as those that protect and promote religious freedom.”
 This week’s Worth Reading is “ New Directions for Democracy Promotion,” a policy research paper written by Lorne W. Craner of the International Republican Institute and Kenneth Wollack of the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. It was commissioned by the Better World Campaign, a sister organization of the United Nations Foundation, as part of a series of papers developed for the 2008 Presidential campaign and incoming administration.  This week’s Worth Reading is “ The Failed States Index of 2008,” an annual report and assessment produced by the Fund for Peace and Foreign Policy magazine. The Index ranks 177 states in order of the susceptibility to violent internal conflict and societal deterioration that contribute to the emergence of failed states. The 60 most at risk states are ranked in order of their stability based on 12 social, economic, political, and military indicators. The lower the rank of a state, the more likely a shock event will push the weak state into state failure.
