Outside powers like the US can often help in this process by the example they set as politically and economically successful societies. They can also provide funding, advice, technical assistance, and yes, occasionally military force to help the process along.
外部大国例如美国可以通过自身作为政治上和经济上都是成功的社会树立榜样来在这一进程中有所帮助。它们还可以提供资金、建议、技术援助，还有不时使用武力来帮助这一进程。但是，强制性的政权改变从来就不是民主转型的关键所在。
