| U.S. Democracy Promotion During and After Bush
Carothers, Thomas
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, September 12, 2007, online edition, 42p
Carothers argues “that the main U.S. presidential candidates have voiced support for democracy promotion, but not yet outlined plans to put it back on track. Carothers analyzes the Bush Administration’s record on democracy promotion and its effect on democracy worldwide, and then presents fresh ideas about the role democracy promotion can and should play in future U.S. policies. [...] More than ever, U.S. democracy promotion must square a daunting circle—it must embody strong elements of modesty, subtlety, and the awareness of limitations without losing the vitality, decisiveness, and creativity necessary for success,” the report concludes. Thomas Carothers is vice president for studies international politics and governance at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
