Strengthening Constitutional Self-Government

No Left Turns

Promoting Democracy in Saudi Arabia

Although this article is too optimistic it is an example of some of the difficulties in trying to effect change in an oligarchy with absolutely no experience in either "democracy" or constitutionalism (and with a host of other problems as well; women treated as property, etc.). Still, its worth reading. It’s from a recent issue of the Journal of Democracy and is by Jean-Francois Seznec.

I cant get thru to this article. It seems you must be a Project Muse member or a public library. Could cut and past for us ( at least a portion of the article?)

To Gary Maxwell. You ought to be able to get through. There is nothing at the site that would prevent you from seeing it, or anything special from my end; something is wrong at your end. It is too long to cut and paste. If you e-mail me a note, I’ll be glad to send you a hard copy.
