ROAD TO 2008: AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD

Can We Make the World Democratic?

with

Joshua Muravchik, resident scholar, American Enterprise Institute

Can any nation and culture become democratic?  Is democracy the right form of government for all? While some claim that democracy-promotion should be a key U.S. foreign policy goal, others question whether the U.S. has the ability and right to do so. Arguing that the spread of democracy around the globe heralds a revolutionary change, democracy expert Joshua Muravchik identifies key obstacles to democracy’s advance and poses a key question for the next administration: should the U.S. export democracy? 

This program with Joshua Muravchik is part of the 2007-2008 Chicago and the World Forum, The Road to 2008: American Leadership in an Uncertain World, a public program series with leading foreign policy experts exploring the complex global challenges and opportunities facing the next administration.
