Publisher Synopsis
This is an outstanding book and highly recommended for anyone interested in local NGOs, in how democracy advances incrementally, and in the ways in which U.S. foreign policy can be adjusted to be more effective. * James Ketterer, Ethics & International Affairs * Herrold's book is a significant contribution to our understanding of how nonprofit and foundation sectors that focus on economic and social development can cultivate democratic norms and practices. * Steven Hedemann, Nonprofit Policy Forum * Recommended. * M.L. Russell, East Carolina University, CHOICE * This beautifully written and well-organized study is the book President Biden's team should consider if they seek to strengthen democratic principles through democratic practice. * Susan Liebell, New Books Network * Everyone interested in Egypt and Egyptian politics must read Herrolds illuminating new book, Delta Democracy. In this well-written, deeply researched volume, Herrold argues convincingly that democracy brokers in the West and international non-governmental organizations have been manifestly ineffective in advancing democratic change because they fail to understand the political, historical, and social contexts in which they operate. Herrold demonstrates that Egyptiannon-governmental organizations and foundations are better positioned for success. Delta Democracy is an invaluable addition to the literature from which academics, policymakers, practitioners, and foundation program officers will benefit. * Steven A. Cook, Eni Enrico Mattei Senior Fellow for Middle East and Africa Studies, Council on Foreign Relations * Delta Democracy tells the story of Egypts political trajectory over the past decadeseemingly a familiar one told by headlines about uprisings, elections, coups, and authoritarian rulersin a fresh and unfamiliar way. Herrold uses a host of small-scale Egyptian organizations, some operating seemingly far from the political field, as a prism to help us understand what democracy meansand does not meanin a local context * Nathan Brown, Professor of Political Science and International Affairs, George Washington University * Read more...
