It is evident to outline what makes the Democratic Republic of Congo an interesting target for carrying out a political science research (Teorell and Svensson 2007 p.18). The DRC is perhaps the richest country in the world in terms of natural resources. However, this country’s dismal circumstances and standard of life does not correlate with its immense potentiality.

industrialized economic superpowers.

The United States’ democracy promotion policy must be implemented consistently over the long term, which will last well beyond the end of President Bush’s second term on January 20, 2009.
