    IMD Partner in Democracy A NNUAL R EPORT 2005 The IMD – an institute of political parties for political parties The Institute for Multiparty Democracy (IMD) is an institute of political parties for political parties. Its mandate is to encourage the process of democratisation in young democracies by providing support to political parties as the core pillars of multi- party democracy. IMD works in a strictly non-partisan and inclusive manner. Through this approach, the Institute endeavours to contribute to properly functioning, sustainable pluralistic political party systems. It also supports the activities of civil society groups which play a healthy role in multi-party democracies, even though they are not part of any formal party structure. IMD was set up by seven Dutch political parties in 2000 in response to requests for support from around the world. The IMD’s founding members are the Dutch Labour Party (PvdA), Liberal Party (VVD), Christian Democratic Party (CDA), Democratic Party (D66), Green Party (GroenLinks), Christian Union (ChristenUnie) and Reformed Party (SGP).

SURINAME: FROM STUDENT ACTIVISM TO TRANSNATIONAL PARTY POLITICS, 1950S-2005 This chapter asks how (post)colonial history has affected Surinamese transnational party politics since the 1950s. As we saw in the previous chapter, homeland-based actors are ambivalent towards influence from the former colonial metropole. We further saw that the transnational mobilisation potential of Surinamese migrant civil society is limited by its fragmentation and that most organisations do not exist for long.

Electoral Observation in Suriname 2000 General Secretariat Organization of American States Washington, D.C. 20006 2002 This report was produced under the technical supervision of Ambassador Colin Granderson, of Trinidad, Chief of the Electoral Observation Mission and Bruce Rickerson, Deputy Chief of the Mission, and Senior Specialist of the Unit for the Promotion of Democracy (UPD).

Foreword Democratic ideals and principles have always been present in the inter- American system. The Charter of Bogotá, establishing the Organization of American States (OAS), formally proclaimed in 1948 that "the solidarity of the American States and the high aims which are sought through it require the political organization of those States on the basis of the effective exercise of representative democracy." Forty years later, the Protocol of Cartagena de Indias emphatically reaffirmed this principle, including among the essential purposes of the Organization the promotion and strengthening of representative democracy. The signature of the Protocol gave rise to an unprecedented renewal of the commitment of the member states to defending and building democracy.
