The problem of democracy: Islam, liberalism, and American foreign policy
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. In his new book, “The Problem of Democracy: America, the Middle East, and the Rise of Fall of an Idea,” Shadi Hamid explores these questions and more.
On October 17, 2022, the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings will host a virtual panel event to launch Hamid’s new book and discuss potential resolutions to democratic dilemmas and implications for U.S. policy.
