Untitled[edit]

Liberal internationalist theory doesn't revolve around the US, at least not today.

While liberal internationalist theory does not necessarily revolve around the United States, epistemologically it emerged out of American thinking. Secondly, as has been hinted (but not explicitly said in the article) Woodrow Wilson was the first politician to truly act out foreign policy on the grounds of liberal internationalism. Lastly, liberal internationalism relies on the existence of a liberal hegemon in order to enforce the rules of a liberal world order. The depression was caused by a collapse of the liberal economic order, which was due to the apolar nature of global politics of the time. Had the United States been willing to take up its leadership role (as was expected) in the interwar period and become a global creditor, then the effects of the depression would have been lessened. The global leadership requirements of liberal internationalism remain today and are even more important due to the unipolar nature of power with an illiberal China on the rise.Cocacolaisthebest 03:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Makes no sense[edit]

Is this article really suggesting that the people listed, like Tony Blair, who supported the war in Iraq also supported the UN and wanted to work through it? The evidence says otherwise. Are they really contrasting these people with "realists" who see the threat of military intervention inevitable? It seems to me that if you take the paragraph describing "realists" at the end, it would make a good description of the people like Blair who are listed as supposedly being the opposite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.57.204 (talk) 17:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC) lol[reply]

Democratic party? Are you sure?[edit]

Who let the dogs out woof woof woof woof. lol The biggest proponents of intervention to instill liberal values in recent American history have been the neoconservatives, who needless to say are not associated with the Democratic Party (see: Afghanistan and Iraq nation-building efforts). 98.215.87.151 (talk) 22:30, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recentism[edit]

Have boldly invaded - sorry intervened in this article to combat its blatant recentism and US-centrism. Arguably the policy can be traced back much further than Palmerston, perhaps to Cromwell. Straw Cat (talk) 22:16, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
