Great Decisions - Promoting Democracy: Foreign Policy Imperative

The U. S. has had a history of advancing and supporting democracy around the world. What place does democracy promotion have in U.S. foreign policy today? With a choice of tools ranging from economic aid to military force, what are the appropriate yet effective methods that the U.S. should use to promote democracy?

Abbey Bernardis volunteered to lead our discussion, a particularly appropriate follow-up to our April discussion on the Middle East.
