Democracy promotion
Democracy promotion, also referred to as democracy building, can be domestic policy to increase the quality of already existing democracy or a strand of foreign policy adopted by governments and international organizations that seek to support the spread of democracy as a system of government. In practice, it entails consolidating and building democratic institutions
International democracy promotion typically takes three forms: assistance, monitoring, and conditionality.[1] In financial terms, democracy promotion grew from 2% of aid in 1990 to nearly 20% in 2005.[2] More controversially and rare, it can also take the form of military intervention.[3][4]
