The democratic surge in the past twenty years has led many
Americans to assume that all societies are, or should be, making
progress toward becoming practicing democracies. Many in the United
States approach countries such as China, Iran, and Vietnam with
impatience and bewilderment. These seemingly intransigent holdouts
are the subject of intense policy debates, not in the least because
they also play important roles in U.S. security and economic
policy. This book takes a fresh look at the prospects for political
change in these countries and argues that immediate opportunities
exist to advance political liberalization, with the possibility
that democratization will follow in the mid to long term. But to
encourage these trends, the United States must de-emphasize
short-term human rights and democracy strategies to focus on more
subtle attitudinal and institutional changes in both state and
society, and develop new policy measures to enlarge political
space.
