摘　　要：美国的"民主援助"肇始于卡特政府的人权外交。里根政府建立全国民主基金会,对外"民主援助"在美国趋于制度化。九一一事件之后,推动世界的民主化更成为美国对外援助的首要目标。美国政府的对外"民主援助"不但包括对受援国进行直接的资金、物资和人力资源等方面的援助,同时还将对外经济援助与受援国的政治改革和民主化挂钩。"民主援助"不仅体现了美国政治家对于美国政治意识形态和文化价值观念的笃信,而且在新的国际形势下,"民主援助"也是美国政府运用其软实力实现国家利益的重要手段。Since the Carter administration implemented the human rights diplomacy,democracy assistance has become an integral part of foreign aid of the United States.When the Reagan administration established the National Endowment for Democracy,democracy assistance tended to be institutionalised.After 9/11,promoting democratisation in the world was high priority of US foreign aid.The US government's democracy assistance not only directly provides the recipient countries with funds,materials and human resources,but also links its economic aid with political reform and democratisation of the recipient countries.While democracy assistance reflects American politicians' commitment to American political ideologies and cultural values,it is an important means in the 'soft power' for the American government to realise its national interest in the current new international situation.
