American Foreign Policy and Forced Regime Change Since World War II

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the concept of Forced Democracy, the book analyzes American military interventions post-World War II aimed at replacing autocratic regimes with democratic governance. It investigates the intellectual foundations of this phenomenon and critiques past academic studies. Through detailed examinations of five key interventions in the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, and Iraq, the author assesses the sincerity and effectiveness of U.S. intentions in promoting democracy in these nations, providing historical context and outcomes for each case.
