But looking beyond the "whether," what explains why, where, and how the United States promotes democracy? What caused the shift from the Obama administration's support of the Arab Spring protests in 2011 to its retreat from democracy promotion only two years later? What explains the Trump administration?s focus on relationships with autocrats? In the context of these questions, Mieczys?aw Boduszy?ski explores the tensions between interests and ideals in US foreign policy and the possibilities and limits of US democracy promotion in a region where Washington has often supported autocracy over freedom. 517 3 $aU.S. democracy promotion in the Arab world 517 3 $aUnited States democracy promotion in the Arab world 606 $aDemocratization$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aDemocratization$zArab countries 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zArab countries 607 $aArab countries$xForeign relations$zUnited States 615 0$aDemocratization$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDemocratization 676 $a327.11 700 $aBoduszyn?ski$b Mieczys?aw P.$f1974-$01167502 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793768103321 996 $aUS democracy promotion in the Arab world$93717096 997 $aUNINA
