As a form of government, democracy has been practiced for over 2,500 years, though in different forms, such as direct democracy of the ancient Athenian citizens and representative government in modern times. It means “rule by the people” or “sovereignty of the people”. If no country seeks to dictate standards for democracy, impose its own political system on others or use democracy as a tool to suppress others, and when all countries can live and thrive in diversity, our world will be a better place.ĭemocracy is a term that derives from the ancient Greek language.
This is in the interest of not only the American people, but also the people of other countries. It is hoped that the US will improve its own system and practices of democracy and change its way of interacting with other countries. It has incessantly interfered in other countries’ internal affairs and waged wars under the guise of “democracy”, creating regional turbulence and humanitarian disasters.īased on facts and expert opinions, this report aims to expose the deficiencies and abuse of democracy in the US as well as the harm of its exporting such democracy. However, over the years, the US, despite the structural flaws and problematic practice of its democratic system, has claimed itself as the “model of democracy”.
This system is unique, not universally applicable, and it is far from perfect. The United States’ system of democracy is derived from its own practices. The political system of a country should be independently decided by its own people. It would be totally undemocratic to measure the diverse political systems in the world with a single yardstick or examine different political civilizations from a single perspective. Democracy takes different forms, and there is no one-size-fits-all model. It is a right for all nations, not a prerogative reserved to a few.
