Description:
The role of democracy promotion in US foreign policy has increased considerably in the last three decades, booming especially in the immediate years after the end of the Cold War. Under Bill Clinton, there was an explicit attempt to do so by reframing American strategy in terms of 'democratic enlargement' and this book will assess the strategic use of democracy promotion in US foreign policy and its different outcomes during his presidency.
Rather than focusing on a single country or region case study, this book will offer an unprecedented comprehensive, global review of American democracy engagement with different regions of the world and key countries during a whole presidency - and how much the US benefited from this.
