- Summary:
- The promotion of democracy by the United States became highly controversial during the presidency of George W. Bush. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were widely perceived as failed attempts at enforced democratization, failures that subsequently obliged Obama to downplay the rhetoric of democracy and freedom in his foreign policy. Debating how far democratic aspirations have been realized in actual foreign policies, this book draws together concise studies from many of the leading academic experts in the field to evaluate whether democracy promotion has ever worked. They clash over whether it is an appropriate goal of US foreign policy and how far the United States has gained anything from it. Offering an important contribution to the field, this work is essential reading for all students and scholars of US foreign policy, American politics and international relations. Book jacket.
