Article Abstract:

This article discusses the negative aspects of anti-Americanism that is not rooted in violence, such as Islamic militants, but is based upon vocal criticism. The author argues, that while 'lite' anti-Americanism is largely seen as innocuous, it actually serves to undermine significant attributes of democracy, weakening the legitimacy of governments abroad and strengthening the unilateral position of the United States.
