<tr><td valign="top"><h4>ERIS-CPSU Study: State of Democracy in the Commonwealth</h4><p>ERIS teamed up with the <a href="http://www.cpsu.org.uk/">Commonwealth Policy Studies Unit </a>(CPSU) to publish a study on Democracy in the Commonwealth. The resulting report was launched to coincide with the biennial meeting of Commonwealth Heads of Government on 23 November.<br/><br/>The report, with a foreword by Amartya Sen, was authored by the Chair of the Ghana Electoral Commision and Executive Secretary of the Association of African Election Authorities Kwadwo Afari-Gyan, Chair of the Pakistan Human Rights Commission Asma Jahangir and British democracy expert Tim Sheehy. <br/><br/>The report concludes that too many Commonwealth countries fail to encourage or even countenance open political competition and argues for wide-ranging reform in the way the Commonwealth promotes democracy. <br/><br/>Read the report in pdf format here:<br/><a href="http://www.eris.org.uk:80/images/userfiles/File/Democracy COVER ONLY.pdf"><br/>Front cover and foreword by Amartya Sen</a><br/><a href="http://www.eris.org.uk:80/images/userfiles/File/Democracy TEXT ONLY.pdf"><br/>Full text of the report</a></p><p><a href="projects.html">Back...</a></td><td valign="top"></td></tr><div class="clear"> </div> </table>
