"This is a fine contribution to ongoing debates about human rights and democratization policy." — Chandra Lekha Sriram, International Affairs
"A thorough grasp of the intellectual and institutional development of democratization theory and U.S. foreign policy... an important book." — Suzanne Ogden, Political Science Quarterly
"Guilhot is to be congratulated for producing a coherent and purposeful account." — Democratization
"This book is an excellent source of information on the significant subjects of international relations, foreign policy, and human rights." — Shreesh Juyal, International Journal
"An admirably rich and scholarly contribution to the new development agenda." — International Sociology Review of Books
"This book is a perfect example of what Michel Foucault once defined as the task of sociology: writing the history of the present. With real archeological depth, theoretical intelligence and acute insight, Nicolas Guilhot invites us to think about what some hold as the highest virtue, and others regard as the biggest fraud of the present: crafting democracies." — Antonio Negri, coauthor of Empire
"Nicolas Guilhot's wonderful book demystifies today's business of democracy promotion, unmasking the institutions and actors at the core of it." — Michael Hardt, co-author of Empire and Multitude
