The Democracy Forum for East Asia was established as the result of an agreement between President Kim Dae-jung of South Korea and Bill Clinton in November, 1998 to promote and strengthen democracy in East Asia. The Sejong Institute in South Korea, and the International Forum for Democratic Studies of the NED were designated by their respective governments as the operating agencies. As a result, the two institutions subsequently agreed to create a joint program of mutual dialogue and exchange, education and training, and networking to achieve the objectives of the Democracy Forum.
The Democracy Forum was premised on the idea that open exchanges of ideas and experiences among the actual practitioners of democracy in East Asia can contribute greatly to the improvement and stabilization of the region's democracies. Between 1999 and 2002, the Democracy Forum for East Asia organized eight conferences. The inaugural conference was held in July 1999 in Seoul; it was followed by seven working conferences in Seoul and Bangkok. Full-text Democracy Forum for East Asia Reports: |
