- W2890180989 abstract "In 2006, I and other writers called attention to an emergent internationalbacklash against democracy promotion (Carothers 2006; National Endowment for Democracy 2006). The backlash entails growing hostility and resistance on the part of authoritarian and semi-authoritarian governments toWestern, especially US democracy promotion programs and policies. Ofcourse, Western democracy supporters have long encountered a closed dooror heavy resistance in many authoritarian countries. This current phenomenon is about governments that once allowed external democracy assistancein their country forcing out or greatly restricting such activities, or it is aboutgovernments that never paid much attention to the possibility of such activitieson their territory suddenly taking steps to block it.The measures that governments employ against democracy assistance vary.In some cases, governments impose legal restrictions that force democracy aidgroups resident in the country to leave or prevent those attempting to workfrom a distance to do so. Restrictions on the funding and activities of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)—NGO laws-are a favorite suchinstrument although laws and regulations relating to political parties and/orelections are also used. Some governments do not force out or completelyblock external democracy aid groups but harass them. The harassmentmay be crudely physical-beatings, thefts, and threats against representativesof such groups or against their local partners. Or the harassment may belegal or administrative, such as intrusive tax inspections, administrative finesand office space refusals. Harassment may also take the form of public criticisms or denunciations by government officials of democracy aid groups andtheir work.The Russian government, under then President Vladimir Putin, was theinitial leading force of the backlash but governments in other parts of theworld, including Central Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, Sub-SaharanAfrica, and Latin America, quickly joined in. In the past few years thebacklash has continued and spread. Russia remains the paradigmatic case. Inhis last two years as president before handing over in mid-2008, VladimirPutin stepped up his assertive campaign against Western democracy promotion. He denounced Western democracy aid providers in harsh, bluntlanguage as political meddlers who violate Russian sovereignty. Shortly beforethe December 2007 Duma elections, for example, he denounced Westerndemocracy aid in scathing terms:" @default.
