Kaplan, Robert. “Democracy’s Trap.” New York Times 24 Dec. 1995: E9.
This is a editorial article for the general public about how the
United States should
stop trying so passionately to establish multiparty systems in every
third world nation. Its
not that Kaplan is against the instilling of democratic ideas in
developing nations, but he
believes the U.S. should go about it in a different way. He
explains how we must let
the idea grow and go through natural process within the country, even
though it might not
strengthen the nation at first. Kaplan also says that the U.S. should
shift its emphasis from
trying to hold elections for third world nations, to promoting
family planning,
environmental and urban renewal.

Miller, Judith. “The Challenge of Radical Islam.” The Other World:
Culture and Politics
in the Third World. (1993) 44-56. In this article, Miller explains
the challenges the west
must face in dealing with all the different aspects of the Islamic
Religion in the Middle
East. Since there are so many different sects, and branches to the
religion, Miller
explains what the major characteristics are of each group, whether
they are extremist
militants, devote Muslims, or terrorist. For the most part, she
paves the way of how
the West should go about in dealing with Islamic nations, and how
forms of
democracy might be instilled in many of these nations. She also
tells how
negative most of these countries feel towards Western ideologies,
but also shows
the allies the West has built in the region with Egypt, and Saudi
Arabia. Millers article
was very informative on the subject Islam, and the way Western
foreign policies should
act towards it.
Rosenberg, Tina. “Beyond Elections.” The Other World: Culture
and Politics
in the Third World. (1993) 28. In this brief article, Tina Rosenberg
talks about
how the US should react to the Governments that are taking helm in
many of the countries
of South and Central America. She explains how a Marxist Government
was elected in
the country of Chile by a democratic process involving most of its
citizens. This
article was very brief, and was used solely because it tells that
the West must show
the respect to this country for participating in a type of democratic
process, even
a Marxist government was elected.

U.S.
