ISBN: 9781442201118.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter eight years of President Bushs trumpeting the virtues of promoting freedom and democracy abroad but achieving limited results, many Americans have grown suspicious of democratic development as a goal of American foreign policy. As a new administration reviews the role democratization will play in its foreign policy, distinguished Stanford University political scientist and Hoover Institution senior fellow Michael McFaul calls for a reaffirmation of democracys advance as a goal of U.S. foreign policy and sets out a radically new course to achieve it.\n\nIn Advancing Democracy Abroad, McFaul explains how democracy provides a more accountable system of government, greater economic prosperity, and better security compared with other systems of government. He then shows how Americans have benefited from the advance of democracy abroad in the past, and speculates about security, economic, and moral benefits for the United States from potential democratic gains around the world. The final chapters explore past examples of successful democracy promotion strategies and outline proposals for effectively supporting democratic development in the future.\n\nPublished in cooperation with the Hoover Institution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947329581109,"sku":"ByrdShop_1442201118","price":46.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781442201118_39e02db4-ed75-42cb-bf2c-06aee64861e5.jpg?v=1778645557","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/advancing-democracy-abroad-why-we-should-and-how-we-can-hoover-studies-in-politics-economics-and-society-9781442201118","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
