Abstract
This chapter considers the legacy Ronald Reagan left in US foreign relations after the Cold War. The Reagan administration's embrace of democracy promotion became the centerpiece of the US human rights policy and US foreign policy in the early post-Cold War era. Despite the calls for the United States to reconsecrate the mission of democracy promotion, the initiative overlooked the interventionism that underpinned the project in its foundational stages. The chapter considers the “End of History” thesis of Francis Fukuyama published in the National Interest. It clarifies that the Clinton administration's commitment to democracy promotion and human rights was distinctly limited.
