A DIPLOMAT’S HANDBOOK for Democracy Development Support Second Edition The Diplomat’s Handbook is a project commissioned by the Community of Democracies, and produced by the Council for a Community of Democracies (CCD). The First Edition was produced with the financial support of the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, Freedom House, the Princeton Project on National Security, the US Department of State, the Governments of Chile, India, and Morocco, and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of the Government of Canada. The Handbook project was conceived by Ambassador Mark Palmer. Preparation of the Handbook has been a partnership between Project Head, Ambassador Jeremy Kinsman (

The original project benefited from the active partnership of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University, whose graduate students conducted extensive research and prepared written drafts for country case studies, namely Bryan Crawford-Garrett, Hanna Jung, Britt Lake, Bart Szewczyk, and Taya Weiss. Patricia Marsden-Dole and Terry Jones, who served as Canadian High Commissioner and as Deputy High Commissioner in Dar es Salaam, drafted the Tanzania case study. This Second Edition and its new case studies have been made possible by the financial support of the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Governments of Canada, Italy, Lithuania and Poland. Special thanks also to the Sándor Demján Foundation for its very generous support of the Handbook including the Palmer Prize for Diplomats.
