description: A Diplomats Handbook for Democracy Development Support presents a wide variety of specific experiences of diplomats on the ground identifying creative human and material resources. More broadly it is about the policy-making experience in capitals as democratic states try to align national interests and democratic values. The Handbook also documents the increasingly prominent role of civil society as the essential building block for successful democratic transitions with each case study examining specific national experiences in the aspiration for democratic and pluralistic governance and lessons learned on all sides  for better or for worse.
