Authors:  LUCIAN BOGDAN. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  We shall try to investigate in the following whether exporting democracy can prove beneficial for the envisioned countries, on the condition of being conducted in an appropriate manner, or, on the contrary, identify the reasons for it cannot, given the local cultural specificities and the civilizational differences between the U.S. and the targeted countries. In this respect, we shall highlight several theoretical considerations regarding the key concepts of interculturalism and the need for intercultural and intercivilizational dialogue, along with the allegations in favor or against U.S. interventionism and regime change, in order to see whether they are mutually compatible and/or what has to be done for the betterment of today’s ongoing tendencies in the field.
