The Target States of Visegrad Countries’ Democracy Assistance

Democracy assistance is targeted and with the limited capacities of the individual Visegrad states, the governments need to prioritize where to send aid and where to engage in terms of helping the formation of democratic governance. In this chapter, the geographical priorities of the four states in their democracy assistance agendas are observed. The chapter seeks to clarify the differentiated geographical focuses and also the historical evolution of prioritizing target states in the context of the geo-strategic goals of the Visegrad states. Statistics related to democracy assistance directed to selected countries are also presented.
