Riassunto

Accepting as a given that a central aim of US foreign policy is "democratization," Carothers (director, Democracy and Rule of Law Project at the Carnegie Endowment) comments on different aspects of the democracy promotion program in a series of 19 previously published essays. He reviews and assesses the Clinton and Bush records on democracy promotion; considers "core elements" of democracy aid including election monitoring, rule of law promotion, and financial assistance to civil society groups; and analyzes the Bush administration's newfound interest in promoting democracy in the Middle East. Occasionally, such as in the case of his criticism of the transition paradigm of democratization, he includes other voices criticizing his work. Distributed in the US by Brookings Institution Press.
