Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the rationale underlying the creation of the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development (ICHRDD), and explores some possible alternative operational goals and strategies that the Centre may adopt to respond to its mission. More specifically, this paper argues that the formal justification for the creation of the ICHRDD is based on an ahistorical and legalistic view of democracy and politics in developing countries. The selection of the Centre's operational goals and strategies constitutes an opportunity both to overcome these deficiencies and to articulate a Canadian approach to democratic development and human rights that is compatible with the history, needs, and aspirations of developing countries.
