Project on Transitional Democracies

According to the Project on Transitional Democracies web site, "The Project on Transitional Democracies is a multiyear project aimed at accelerating the pace of reform in Europe's post-1989 democracies and advancing the date for the integration of these democracies into the institutions of the Euro-Atlantic."

Mission


 * "The Project on Transitional Democracies has been organized to exploit the opportunities to accelerate democratic reform and integration which we believe will exist in the broader Euro-Atlantic region over the next decade. The Project is a multi-year endeavor aimed at accelerating the pace of reform in Europe's post-1989 democracies and advancing the date for the integration of these democracies into the institutions of the Euro-Atlantic.


 * "The experiences of the Visegrad and Vilnius states in their pursuit of EU (European Union) and NATO memberships will serve as a model for the Project on Transitional Democracies.


 * "Our objective will be to encourage a broad dialogue between the social, educational, religious, and political institutions of the United States and Europe and the general public of other democracies and states in transition to democracy. While The Project does not advocate specific legislation, we expect to support the improvement of a general understanding of democracy and the strengthening of the key institutions of civic society."
