Three Frameworks in Search of a Policy: US Democracy Promotion in Asia‐Pacific
The author argues that in order to understand the impact of US democracy promotion efforts it is vital to examine what he terms the three different ‘frameworks’ that now shape the American outlook of the world: the Westphalian, the anti‐Utopian, and the Philadelphian. All three coexist in a very uneasy way and compete with each other to determine US foreign policy in Asia‐Pacific. He looks at the cases of China, Japan, and Cambodia.
Keywords: anti‐Utopian paradigm, Asia‐Pacific, Cambodia, China, democracy promotion, foreign policy, Japan, Philadelphian paradigm, USA, Westphalian paradigm
