The False Promise of Liberal Order
Book • 2020
In *The False Promise of Liberal Order*, Patrick Porter challenges the notion of a benign liberal international order led by the United States.
He argues that this order was established through coercion and compromise with authoritarian forces, leading to unintended illiberal outcomes.
Porter suggests that romanticizing this order hinders adaptation to current global realities and proposes a more realist approach to foreign policy.
