Paulina Pospieszna is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Mannheim, Germany.
"Democracy Assistance from the Third Wave examines Poland's
democracy assistance programs to the neighboring states of Ukraine
and Belarus. It is based on Pospieszna's thorough reading of the
secondary literature, archival research, and interviews with
several dozen state officials and NGO professionals. Its
contribution and novelty lies in the fact that it delves deeply
into something not examined before, a democracy assistance program
by a new democracy."--Michael Bernhard, University of Florida
"A valuable case study of how new actors in international democracy
support are approaching their work. Systematically probing the
motivations, methods, and results of Poland's efforts to foster
democracy in Belarus and Ukraine, Pospieszna not only illuminates
Poland's democracy assistance but also provides a framework for
analyzing the work of other emerging actors in this domain."
--Thomas Carothers, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
"A well-written and very informative book, which contributes not
only to the field of Eastern European studies, but also to the
entire body of research on democratization."
--Europe-Asia Studies
"An important book. . . . Well-written and readable, the book will
appeal to specialists in foreign aid and in East European area
studies."
--Choice
