Assessing the quality of democracy: practical guide (pdf 3.2mb)
This practical guide presents International IDEA's State of Democracy (SoD) assessment Framework, developed for public use world wide.The Framework assessments are led and owned by local actors, and move away from the practice of ranking democratic performance and making external judgements. It combines a commitment to the principles of democracy with dialogue, and looks beyond the formal existence of democratic institutions and focuses, more importantly, on their performance.
It also links assessment to reform and in doing so, highlights achievements and challenges as well as lessons learnt from previous assessment teams' experiences.
Each chapter is available for separate download.
