Four decades of the Cold War era -- and before that, western countries dominated in China (e.g.,   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-Nation_Alliance )

The end of the Cold War: The West won because of the strength of its social, economic, and political institutions

Losing interest in certain players/exporting western values contingent on implementation of the democratic system

Sanctions for those who can't reach the western standard

Is such a strategy questionable?

What are the consequences?

What constitutes a "good government"?

Economic development vs. Democratic system, human rights, etc.

Can countries like China practice democracy successfully?
