DESCRIPTION:Morton H. Halperin, Senior Vice President, Center for American Progress; 
 Director, Open Society Policy Center; Former Director of Policy Planning, 
 US Department of State (1998-2001); Co-Author, The Democracy Advantage  
 Brief Description of Event:  Uncovering 40 years of hard, empirical data 
 from China and India to Chile and Iraq, The Democracy Advantage argues that 
 poor democracies surpass poor autocracies in every economic measure. The 
 book also offers dramatic evidence that democracies are less likely to 
 fight each other and that terrorists more often find safe havens in 
 authoritarian countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.  The 
 Democracy Advantage provides key insights into pressing contemporary policy 
 questions, such as: Should the US be promoting democracy in the Arab and 
 developing world? What are the tradeoffs between national security and 
 democracy promotion? How can the war on terrorism be fought more 
 effectively? Is the Millennium Challenge Account’s approach of supporting 
 to countries that are “ruled justly” well grounded? How can the world 
 make more substantive advances toward the Millennium Development Goals, 
 which set out to reduce global poverty by half?\n
