The Development of Electoral Democracy in East Asia

CDI has joined with the Center for the Study of Democracy at the University of California, Irvine, the East Asian Barometer, Taiwan, and the East West Center, Hawaii, as part of a major new international collaborative project examining the development of electoral democracy in East Asia.

Reflecting CDI's particular focus on political party development, CDI's contribution to the project will concentrate on party systems and democracy in the East Asian region.

The first part of this collaborative process was a conference of experts from Australia, China, Japan, Taiwan and the United States, held at the East-West Center on 17 July which CDI Director Ben Reilly attended.

Details on the conference, and a link to the paper on East Asian Party Systems by CDI Director Benjamin Reilly, are available below.

	Crawford School of Economics and Government	The Centre for Democratic Institutions (CDI) is a government-funded body that supports the efforts of new democracies in the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen their political systems. It provides training, technical assistance and peer support for parliamentarians and emerging leaders in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, with a particular focus on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji. The Australian Government established CDI in 1998. It is funded primarily by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). One of the primary ways in which CDI works to promote democracy is through strengthening parliamentary governance and political parties. The Centre focusses on parliamentary and political party development, and conducts flagship training courses and policy-relevant research on these subjects.
