Andrew G. Mandelbaum at the Democratic Piece responds to Shadi Hamid’s post on obstacles to political reform in Morrocco at Democracy Arsenal. Mandelbaum disagrees with Hamid’s characterization of U.S. democracy promotion efforts. “Democracy promotion is not a mechanism for forcing structural change upon other countries, especially other countries that you are allied with.” Mandelbaum did note that “it would be nice if the Bush administration would be a bit more helpful and a bit less hypocritical.”
