Title: Supporting Democracy
Description: "On 10 May 1994, Nelson Mandela was sworn in as President of the Republic of South Africa. On that day, the new Government of National Unity began to dismantle the policies of apartheid and recognize citizen's rights for 85% of the country's population. The South Africa-Canada Program on Governance (PoG) was born in anticipation of this historic transition.".

"Supporting Democracy provides a new window through which to view the transition to democracy in South Africa. It describes the approaches used by the PoG to assist its South African partners, as well as the activities the program has designed and developed.

It presents the why, what, and how of a governance program and will appeal to academics, policymakers, bureaucrats, researchers, and other professionals in political sciences, development studies, policy studies, administration, and social policy."--BOOK JACKET.
