Description:	Democratization has become one of the dominant international issues of this new century (Barber 2000). The fundamental precept of democracy is that of human freedom and to develop the capacity to enjoy that freedom. But it is not the freedom that Anatole France (1916) noted when he stated, “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.” Prior to the democratic revolution aristocracies were concerned with the Divine Rights of kings, but for the fi rst time on a large scale the rights of mankind became paramount. After 4,000 years of hereditary forms of rule, most of which were not benign, we are now experiencing an era where individuals constitute their government and attempt to maximize their freedom.
