What is Liberalism in Global Politics?

This video looks at the Global Politics and International Relations theory of Liberalism, advanced by philosophers like Immanuel Kant as early as the 18th century, with his essay Perpetual Peace. Liberalism believes that while states are still the most important actors in Global Politics, interdependence of states, and the influence of IGOs, TNCs, and NGOs is key in promoting a stable and prosperous world. Liberal theory also encourages the growth of democracy around the world, and once the world fully embraces liberal democracy, we might see, as Francis Fukuyama puts it, the "end of history."

I think Liberalism is the easiest of the theories to understand and it's also not so saturated in paranoia

Liked how you explained it, very clear, I finished Liberalism by Ludwig von Mises.

My problem with Liberalism is that it assumes the people desire the same. 1 thing if its a small homogenous community; race, religion, culture. How can it work on a ship where no1 agree on the direction/destination?

At best we all vote & end up where no1 wanted to really go. Especially on a global scale.

This is why I love Hobbes, but where his for the state, I'm like pro-monarchy where Christ is King. We'll accept a Republic, but 16th & 17th amendment. Honestly their a list but capitalism, education, etc via a moral frame work.

It takes virtuous people to uphold a Nation; after all, what's the point if not communities of strong families?

Disproves Liberalism and makes Realism the true law of IR.

Sho how would liberalism handle a conflict between competing states? For example. Right now China is exercising dominance in the south china Sea and is claiming rights according to the 9 dash line. China's neighbors disagree and believe China is encroaching on its territorial rights with regard to their waterways. let's say China decided to occupy one of the land features in the Spratly Islands that the Philipines claims belong to them. How would America, under the Paradigm of LIberalism respond to this situation?

Thanks so much for your video ☺️

I have a question though? Is liberalism same as Idealism? Thank you!

Liberalism should get rid of all your military power so that others can believe in liberalism also.
