N2  - In Exporting Democracy, Bob Rae explores the complex and often difficult process of promoting democratic governance around the world. Drawing on history, political theory, and his own experience as a political advisor in conflict zones like Iraq and Afghanistan, Rae examines both the promise and the challenges of democracy as a universal ideal. He highlights how democracy must be adapted to local cultures and political realities rather than imposed from outside. The book offers a balanced view of the successes and failures of democracy promotion, stressing the importance of rule of law, human rights, and inclusive institutions as foundations for lasting democratic societies
