The Algerian military’s decision to overthrow the 1992 parliamentary elections posed the first major challenge to President George H.W. Bush’s commitment to a post-communist “new world order” based upon consistent support for democracy, pluralism, and freedom around the world. The Bush administration had to choose whether to denounce the actions of the Algerian generals, or defend it by declaring that the fundamentalists’ victory would represent the last election Algeria was likely to have. This case study explores some major problems facing U.S. foreign policy: the balance between democracy, authoritarianism, and fundamentalism in the Middle East; the battle for the “hearts and minds” of Muslims; and U.S. support for unpopular regimes. The study is well suited for any class in U.S. foreign policy, national security, comparative politics, or Middle Eastern studies.

December 16, 2001: Madagascar, one of the world's poorest countries falls into chaos. The roots of this crisis are two men fighting to control disputed election results: Didier Ratsiraka, the incumbent president, and his foe, Marc Ravalomanana, the presidential candidate. For seven months, Madagascar is asphyxiated by this turmoil: barricades are set up, tortures take place and the crisis escalates into a true civil war. The political calamity ends in 2002 with the official recognition of Marc Ravalomanana by the United States. Ratsitraka flees the country, leaving behind an unimaginable humanitarian, political and economic catastrophe, whose consequences for the Malagasy people are still immeasurable.
