This book investigates US foreign policy and tests the hypothesis
that transition-inspired democracy promotion will successfully
establish liberal democracy around the world, and thus fulfil the
aims of the American mission and its application of the democratic
peace. It features two detailed case studies exploring political
liberalization in Bosnia and Afghanistan, and suggests that the
conclusions are applicable to other cases by highlighting the US
mission in Iraq. The author critically examines US foreign policy
in a theoretical and historical context, focusing on the United
States Agency for International Development's (USAID) democracy
assistance. It demonstrates that if liberal democracy is the
end-goal of USAID's strategy then the theoretical and practical
limitations of transition-inspired assistance will impede the
attainment of this goal. In examining US democracy promotion in
Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq during the Clinton and Bush
administrations, the book concludes by considering its future
during the Obama administration. This book will be of interest to
students and scholars of International Relations, US Foreign Policy
and Democratization Studies. A video of a panel discussing Matthew
Hill's book and associated topics in more detail can be found here:
