Democratization represents both a sea change in the life of a society and an open-ended process. The order that it produces is never an unmitigated good or a natural outcome, and it is not likely to be self-sustaining in any time or place. The ability of the United States to foster democratization, whether at home or abroad, is modest because it is proportional to its limited ability to build and maintain the institutions that democracy requires
