Abstract
Abstract Chapter 3 outlines the West’s democracy promotion playbook and presents its promise and perils. It shows how democracy aid has been criticized by both scholars and leaders of Egyptian NGOs for failing to effectively confront dictators or to resonate with local populations in its focus on reforming procedures and institutions and technical outputs. But local foundations typically have fewer resources than their Western counterparts and may be constrained by government control and co-optation. So democracy aid often provides crucial funding for organizations that otherwise have limited sources of cash. This chapter introduces a range of perspectives on the strengths and weaknesses of the West’s democracy promotion strategies.
