REVIEW OF BOOK ─ IMPORTING DEMOCRACY: THE ROLE OF NGOS IN SOUTH AFRICA, TAJIKISTAN AND ARGENTINA

Democracy or democratization projects either instituted by governmental leaders and or by civil society or by individual personalities have become the relevant celebrated concepts after the collapse of the bipolar international system in the early 1990s as capitalism triumph over communism. Although, democracy as a concept is as old as the ancient Greek, many writings would suggest that the very idea of democracy was already been practiced in various places in the world even prior to the 5^th century. Primitive as may be labeled, ancient civilizations embodied in themselves some elements of democracy. As the human race advances, the practices and expectations of every human being to become part of interacting mechanism in a free society where they are part of have also rise.
