Can the U.S. be a force for good in the world? This course will examine how the U.S. promotes democracy and human rights as part of its foreign policy–and where, why, and when it does not. In so doing, it engages themes such as the international diffusion of human rights and democracy norms, the determinants of U.S. foreign policy, political and economic conditionality, “liberal” intervention and nation-building, and support for NGOs and civil society. We will also briefly consider the role of other democracy- and human rights-promoting states and international organizations. Letter grade only.
