Het proefschrift van Jelmer Kamstra, getiteld “Promoting Civil Society and Democracy: Tracing Ideals in Reality”, onderzoekt de wijze waarop maatschappelijke organisaties in ontwikkelingslanden bijdragen aan het versterken van democratie en hoe ze hierin worden ondersteund door donoren van ontwikkelingshulp. De studie laat op basis van veldwerk in Ghana en Indonesië zien dat er van de idealen die donoren van ontwikkelingshulp nastreven in de praktijk vaak weinig overblijft en verklaart waarom dit zo is.
Jelmer Kamstra’s PhD thesis “Promoting Civil Society and Democracy: Tracing Ideals in Reality” looks at various aspects of promoting civil society and democracy in developing countries. Based on extensive fieldwork involving democracy promoting NGOs in Ghana and Indonesia, this study uncovers why policy assumptions in the field of civil society and democracy promotion often do not yield the expected results.
