The Democracy Promotion Paradox

Informationen zum Autor "Lincoln A. Mitchell is a scholar, writer, and practitioner of democracy promotion. He was formerly on the faculty of Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and is currently the national political correspondent for the New York Observer. His previous books include Uncertain Democracy: U.S. Foreign Policy and Georgia's Rose Revolution (2008) and The Color Revolutions (2012)." Klappentext Is democracy exportable? The answers are yes, no, and maybe. This is one of the paradoxes of democracy promotion, which has been at the center of U.S. foreign policy for much of America's modern history. Where it has worked, where it has failed, and whether it should have a future in Washington's strategic calculations are among the questions Lincoln Mitchell addresses, drawing on his years of on-the-ground experience as a democracy promotion practitioner.
