Title: The Problem of Democracy Author: Shadi Hamid Narrator: Amin El Gamal Format: mp3 Length: 12 hrs and 22 mins Release date: 02-21-23 Ratings: 3 out of 5 stars, 1 rating Genres: Diplomacy Publisher's Summary: 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. When Islamist parties rise to power through free elections, the United States has too often been ambivalent or opposed, preferring instead pliable dictators. With this legacy of democratic disrespect in mind, and drawing on new interviews with top American officials, Shadi Hamid explores universal questions of morality, power, and hypocrisy.
