Abstract

The Netherlands is one of the donor-countries that has shown a strong commitment to democratization efforts and to participation in electoral observation missions in Africa. This chapter is a reflection on discussions held between observers, academics and policy-makers at the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs in February 1997 during a seminar organized by the Ministry and the African Studies Centre, Leiden. As the seminar brought together the three main parties in the electoral observation effort and debated on the core issues involved, a summary of the discussions is presented here which in its turn is useful to introduce the two subsequent chapters on the development of policy and practice.
