In the fifth publication in the Hansard Society Democracy Series, Democracy and Intervention, published July 17, 2007, Lord Bhikhu Parekh examines whether democracy can – or should – be exported from one country to another:
- What do we mean by ‘democratic values’?
- Can democratic values be exported from one country to another?
- Why has this issue gained such prominence within western – and particularly United States – foreign policy?
- Are there inherent contradictions in attempting to spread democracy to countries which may not wish to adopt it?
- What are the challenges when democracy and religion meet?
