Global Lessons and Best Practices: Fighting Corruption and Promoting the Rule of Law Through Transparency, Openness and Judicial Independence
IFES believes all countries, including China, should publish an annual State of the Judiciary Report that will serve as both an internal and external tool that can be used by multiple stakeholders for multiple purposes, including promoting and systematically reporting on needed reforms and key issues. It should be disseminated to the public at large, as well as to targeted stakeholders, such as the business and human rights communities, bar associations, judges, reformers, policy-makers and donors. We believe the publication and distribution of the report will increase the quality and quantity of concrete information on the judiciary, more transparency, accountability and public awareness, qualitative comparative research and valuable cross-country lessons learned and judicial competition. We invite and challenge you to demonstrate your firm commitment to the important task ahead.

Indigenous and Women's Attitudes Toward Elections (2002) (Spanish)
En los últimos años los sistemas políticos han sido testigos de importantes reformas en sus sistemas y procedimientos electorales, las que persiguen la profundización de la democracia, por la vía de promover la universalidad y el libre acceso al voto. El Ecuador está en esta línea, pero sus peculiares condiciones sociales, culturales y políticas, todavía ocasionan distorsiones en la expresión democrática. La composición étnica del país es uno de los factores más importantes de diferenciación social a su interior. La incorporación de los indígenas a la vida política formal es relativamente reciente, y su participación ha ido incrementándose hasta llegar a niveles de alta influencia en la ocupación de cargos públicos y la formación de alianzas de poder.
