An analysis of the list by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace speculated that some of the invitees were motivated by strategic reasons: Pakistan, the Philippines and Ukraine have broader strategic interests for the United States, such as counterterrorism or countering Russian and Chinese influence; Regional dynamics played a role, such as Iraq being invited so that Israel would not be "the only one in the Middle East." Some analysts say that India, whose governance model is gradually blurred, was invited in consideration of its importance in the Indo-Pacific strategy of the United States. But the US also has a choice dilemma. Biden's plan for a "democracy summit" is proving to be a challenge as the administration has wrestled with the question of who should and should not be invited. Some analysts believe that the United States excluded some traditional partners from the "democratic camp", will deepen the gap between the two sides; Some countries or regions that are questioned about "democratic regression" are invited, which will affect the "credibility" of the summit. Human rights groups have questioned whether the "democracy summit" can push those invited leaders to take meaningful action.
