A more profound understanding of the authority conferred, and limits imposed, by democracies on their leaders allows us to recognize what is, and is not, possible in democratic politics. It encourages a more subtle appreciation of the onerous demands of leadership, negotiating the extremes of idealism and cynical pragmatism that so often undermine confidence in politics and politicians. It gives greater insight into how democratic institutions and practices can be sustained and improved upon, both domestically, and internationally. Australia's commitment to democratisation in the region makes even more pressing the question of the type of leadership necessary in transitional states.

对民主国家赋予领导人的权力和施加的限制有更深刻的理解，使我们能够认识到民主政治中什么是可能的，什么是不可能的。它鼓励人们更加微妙地理解领导层的繁重要求，协调极端的理想主义和愤世嫉俗的实用主义，而这些极端主义往往会破坏人们对政治和政客的信心。它让我们更深入地了解如何在国内和国际上维持和改进民主制度和实践。澳大利亚对该地区民主化的承诺使得过渡国家所需的领导类型问题变得更加紧迫。
