What are the main challenges facing incipient democratic regimes in the developing world and how can donors best support democratisation in these countries?

Michelsen Institute (CMI) argues that incomplete democratisation processes and the predominance of ‘hybrid regimes' pose serious challenges to the sustainability, capacity, responsiveness and effectiveness of democratic institutions.
