http://www.cedu.ro/ http://www.soros.ro/ro/features_detaliu.php?features=5 Authoritarian leaders around the world have recently started to crack down on democracy-promotion efforts in their countries. The Bush administration's pro-democracy bombast has not helped matters, but has contributed to the false idea that liberalization is some-how a U.S.-driven phenomenon. Thomas Carothers is Director of the Democracy and Rule of Law Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. His most recent book is Promoting the Rule of Law Abroad: In Search of Knowledge.

Read the whole feature. http://www.soros.ro/ro/features_detaliu.php?features=4 "The Age of Fallibility: Consequence of the War on Terror". In his new book George Soros reveals the philosophy that he attributes to his successes and shows how one can use this philosophy to make one's world a better place. "I have developed a philosophy that has played a central role in my life. It has guided me in making money and spending it, although it is not about money. I know how important that philosophy is for me personally, but I am still in the process of finding out whether it can have a similar significance for others. That is my first priority and this book is probably my final effort in this regard."
