Applies statistical analysis to ninety-three cases of US intervention and presents six case studies to demonstrate how the United States has encouraged the institution of free elections and other liberal reforms - often at the point of bayonets. Also highlights the roles that both security concerns and liberal values play in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy. Presidents are often seen to use the promotion of democracy to build domestic political consensus and to legitimize interventions.
