On Sept. 7, 2007, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Sydney, U.S. President George W. Bush called for the formation of a new regional organization in which “free nations will work together to support democratic values, strengthen democratic institutions, and assist those who are working to build and sustain free societies across the Asia Pacific region.” Soon thereafter, Australia, Canada, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mongolia, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and East Timor joined together to form the Asia Pacific Democracy Partnership (APDP), Asia’s first regional democracy organization. While the APDP is still in its infancy, its existence creates uncomfortable questions for authoritarian rulers in the region who claim that democracy, human rights and rule of law are “Western values” that are irrelevant to Asia.
