Data Collection Democracy Economic Development Economics Education Financial Support Foreign Countries Foundation Programs Free Enterprise System Geographic Regions International Cooperation Nongovernmental Organizations Assisting democracy has become a major concern of the international community since the end of the Cold War. Private actors--foundations and other nongovernmental organizations--are playing a growing role in these efforts, rivaling those of governments and international institutions.
