Promoting Polyarchy: Globalization US Intervention and Hegemony (Cambridge Studies in International Relations Series Number 48)

About this book

Promoting Polyarchy is an exciting detailed and controversial work on the apparent change in US foreign policy from supporting dictatorships to promoting "democratic" regimes. William I. Robinson argues that behind this facade US policy upholds the undemocratic status quo of Third World countries. He addresses the theoretical and historical issues at stake and uncovers a wealth of information from field work and hitherto unpublished government documents. Promoting Polyarchy is an essential book for anyone concerned with democracy globalization and international affairs.
