	PRICE DISCUSSES DEMOCRACY PROMOTION IN AN ARTICLE FOR THE WASHINGTON QUARTERLY
	Washington, D.C. - Congressman David Price shares his perspective on U.S. efforts to promote democracy throughout the world in an article for the current edition of The Washington Quarterly. Drawing on his experience leading the House Democracy Assistance Commission (HDAC), Price writes that democracy promotion must remain a central plank of U.S. foreign policy, an expression of U.S. values, and a tool that can be used to pursue the strategic interests of the United States. He also explains how the Obama Administration should learn from the mistakes of the past eight years and rethink and refine the theory and practice of democracy promotion. In plotting out a “new way forward,” Price lays out the most important lessons to draw from our country’s recent experience in this area.
