Shadi Hamid reimagines the ongoing debate on democracy's
merits and proposes an ambitious agenda for reviving the lost
art of democracy promotion in the world's most undemocratic
regions.
What happens when democracy produces "bad" outcomes? Is
democracy good because of its outcomes or despite them? This
"democratic dilemma" is one of the most persistent, vexing
problems for America abroad, particularly in the Middle
East--we want democracy in theory but not necessarily in
practice.
When Islamist parties rise to power through free elections, the
United States has too often been ambivalent or opposed,
preferring instead pliable dictators. With this legacy of
democratic disrespect in mind, and drawing on new interviews
with top American officials, Shadi Hamid explores universal
questions of morality, power, and hypocrisy. Why has the United
States failed so completely to live up to its own stated ideals
in the Arab world? And is it possible for it to change?
In The Problem of Democracy, Hamid
offers an ambitious reimagining of this ongoing debate and
argues for "democratic minimalism" as a path to resolving
democratic dilemmas in the Middle East and beyond. In the
seemingly eternal tension between democracy and liberalism,
recognized by the ancient Greeks and the American founders
alike, it may be time to prioritize one over the other, rather
than acting as if the two are intertwined when increasingly
they are not.
At the end of the Cold War, the democratic idea was victorious,
so much so that it took on more meaning than it could bear.
Democracy became a means to other ends, whether it was
liberalism, economic development, or cultural progress. What
if, instead, democracy was reconceptualized as its own end?
What if the people are right even when they're wrong?
The problem of democracy is no longer just a Middle Eastern
problem. The polarizing effects of identity, culture, and
religion are now haunting the world's oldest democracies. At
home, a growing number of Americans are realizing that
respecting election results when the other side wins is easier
said than done. To look then at the democratic dilemma abroad
is to consider a deeper set of questions around why we believe
democracy is good as well as whether we think it is good for
other nations and cultures.
