America’s Promotion of Democracy

Abstract

The United States is known for its relentless efforts in foreign intervention policy to instill its so-called superior values, including democracy. But are democratic values, which the United States seeks to promote globally, warmly welcomed by different nations? Or is America's push for democracy actually in its interest? The paper analyzes the actions of US administrations from Woodrow Wilson to Joe Biden to help answer these questions. It reveals that although actions vary during each presidential administration, the promotion of democracy has always been a concern in US foreign policy, which reflects the primary interests of the United States and the positive belief they want to spread.
