As you can see, it reached its peak by the end of the Clinton presidency, then sharply dropped when George Bush took the office in 2001. Four years later, it bounced back as the U.S. were actively involved in democratization and state building efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. During the Obama administration, interest in democracy promotion was steadily declining and in the very last report, produced in 2017 by the Trump administration, it plummeted to its historical low. What do you think about this trend? Is the U.S. losing interest in democracy promotion worldwide? Does it question the Democratic Peace theory?
