| Democracy, Realistically
Owen, John M IV.
The National Interest, Spring 2006, #83, pp35-43
"Realist critics have repeatedly chastised the Bush Administration for its "utopianism", arguing that, in using American power to spread political liberty around the world, the president is at best wasting America's resources and at worst wooing disaster. Many of the critics subscribe to the proposition that the promotion of democracy and the preservation of American power are contradictory goals. Here, Owen compares the two complementary goals: advancing US interest and global democracy promotion." John M. Owen IV is Associate Professor of politics at the University of Virginia
