Abstract

[Democracy is the focus of a variety of discourses and serves as a reference for diverse political actors in a world that appears increasingly homogeneous at first glance. It inspired Ronald Reagan’s famous speech, delivered in the British House of Commons in 1982. The American president seized the opportunity to promote a new form of external inf luence on a global scale that would contribute to eliminating the existing threat of communism. Democracy was then presented as the universal norm toward which all societies must inevitably turn. At the end of the 1980s, the collapse of the “communist bloc” served to turn this conception into a goal for powers wishing to inf luence the evolution of a certain number of states.]
