How to Make Love to a Despot: An Alternative Foreign Policy for the Twenty-First Century

Since the second world war, the United States has spent countless billions of dollars on foreign economies hoping that these investments would change, convince, or pressure the world to be remade in it's own image, or at least made vaguely "safe for democracy." However it has become increasingly clear that these interventions have only given us a generation of policy failures. This book critically examines the failues of the American vision of a world of market-oriented democracies and argues that the United States must learn how to work pragmatically witn nondemocracies. Instead of trying to remake the world in its image or trying to buy peace, it must learn how to make love to despots.
