A central issue in debates over the future of U.S. foreign policy is whether the United States should attempt to spread democracy. After the end of the Cold War, many observers argued that the United States needed a new global mission to replace containment of the Soviet Union. Promotion of democracy is one of the most promising candidates for such a mission.
