Abstract
The inconsistency in democracy promotion policy can be partly seen when one examines the discourse of U.S. presidents on the subject, from Woodrow Wilson to George W. Bush.
Each administration had varying ideas of how to promote democracy in practice - whether through coercive diplomacy, international institutions, of non-governmental organizations - but also differences in its specific definition of democracy, i.e. the political model that should be promoted.
