Abstract
The introduction to this issue on democracy and security frames the concerns about democracy assistance policy in terms of two important shifts. The first involved a shift in the policy goals attached to democracy assistance policy, and the ideas about what that policy could attain. As people began to view democratic government as facilitating other desired goals, such as peace and tractability, new security goals began to work through democracy assistance programmes, particularly as non-traditional security threats like terrorism began to loom large. The second shift occurred in the global context of regime transitions, from older cases in which cold-war dictatorships were replaced by the emergence of formerly marginalized societies, to those in which transitions more commonly occurred following conflict.
