Anxiety About the Liberal International Order

American alites don't of themselves, including the clintons and the bushes, as the agents of the erosion of the existing multilateral system. They think it's under pressure in rigtiof ways, and if anything, that they've acted to shore it up. So i think there's simultaneously an anxiety about the end of sone liberal international order. And then another set of concerns is that, as these institutions erode, the price of hegemonythe need for coercion increases.
