                  To better defend democracy, the US must admit to its own imperfection

                  That recognition should lie at the core of any American effort to champion democratic principles abroad

                  Many rightly fear that Joe Biden’s more internationalist US will prove only a passing phase

                  A Biden administration would do better to redefine ‘engagement’ and extend it far beyond government

                  There will be radical change from Trump’s approach, but more in style than in substance

                  Articles written by US presidential candidate Joe Biden suggest that the pillars of his foreign policy can be captured by three Ds: Domestic, Deterrence and Democracy
