Product Description
Humphrey Hawksley, who has traveled the world for decades with the BBC as a foreign correspondent put a delicate topic into the hands of the public. The premise of Democracy Kills is that it isn't a given that democracy is the right fit for every country. In his book he uses examples The Ivory Coast, Iraq, Indonesia, and Bosnia, clearly illustrating what went amiss in each case. In his final chapter he provides juxtaposition with a story about Taiwan and its success with democracy.
Hawksley doesn't disagree with the principles of a democratic form of government. We though, in the west, are trained to believe that coming into a country with a tenuous and or fallen government bringing democracy, John Wayne style, is the only answer. What Hawkslely points out, by examples, is that some countries aren't ready for this paradigm shift no matter how wonderful it sounds on the surface.
Hawkeye's journalistic style of writing makes Democracy Kills easy to read
