Overview

Liberalism is a school of thought within international relations theory which revolves around three interrelated principles: Rejection of power politics as the only possible outcome of international relations; it questions security/warfare principles of realism Mutual benefits and international cooperation The role of international organizations and nongovernmental actors in shaping state preferences and policy choices This school of thought emphasizes three factors that encourage more cooperation and less conflict among states: International institutions, such as the United Nations, which provide a forum to resolve disputes in non-violent ways International trade because, when countries' economies are interconnected through trade, they are less likely to go to war with each other Spread of democracy, as well-established democracies do not go to war with one another, so if there are more democracies, interstate war will be less frequent Liberals believe that international institutions play a key role in cooperation among states via interdependence. There are three main components of interdependence. States interact in various ways, through economic, financial, and cultural means; security tends to not be the primary goal in state-to-state interactions; and military forces are not typically used. Liberals also argue that international diplomacy can be a very effective way to get states to interact with each other honestly and support nonviolent solutions to problems. With the proper institutions and diplomacy, Liberals believe that states can work together to maximize prosperity and minimize conflict. Liberalism is one of the main schools of international relations theory. Liberalism comes from the Latin liber meaning "free", referring originally to the philosophy of freedom. Its roots lie in the broader liberal thought originating in the Enlightenment. The central issues that it seeks to address are the problems of achieving lasting peace and cooperation in international relations, and the various methods that could contribute to their achievement.

Notable quotes

“Ultraliberalism today translates into a whimpering isolationism in foreign policy, a mulish obstructionism in domestic policy, and a pusillanimous pussyfooting on the critical issue of law and order.”
— Spiro Agnew, speech before Illinois Republican meeting, Springfield, Illinois (September 10, 1970); reported in Collected Speeches of Spiro Agnew (1971), p. 193
“I didn't realize quite how liberal I was until I was asked to make passionate comedic choices as opposed to necessarily successful comedic choices.”
— Stephen Colbert "Fresh Air" NPR interview (24 January 2005)
“But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.”
— Isaiah 32:8, The Bible (King James Version)
“Liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude.”
— Mao Zedong, "Combat Liberalism" (1937)
“I have yet to meet a liberal who can withstand the attrition of prolonged discussion of the inessentials.”
— Tom Sharpe, Porterhouse Blue (1974)
“I never thought I would see the day when America (which is based on the idea of liberty, from which the word Liberal comes) would become so self-centered and hypocritical. I mean if a democracy considers liberal to be a term of abuse, then we should be terrified. A liberal is someone who believes in liberty. And if it is wrong to be liberal, then the other side has to be fascist.”
— Derek Walcott in an interview with J.P. White 1990, page 165 in Conversations with Derek Walcott, published 1996.
