This book is an argument about the moral foundations of foreign
policy. It argues that a liberal state can insist upon the
universal reach of liberal ideas, while still distinguishing
between what is owed to citizens and what is owed to foreign
citizens. This liberalism includes a concern for liberal
toleration, which is intended to defend the proposition that a
liberal state can work for democratization and liberalism abroad,
without being intolerant or illiberal in doing so. What constraints
there are on foreign policy emerge not from the need to tolerate
undemocratic regimes, but from the prudential reason that there are
few effective and proportional means by which such regimes might be
liberalized. It also argues that international inequality is wrong
only when and to the extent this inequality can be shown to
undermine the democratic self-rule of a society. Global poverty and
underdevelopment is wrong for reasons quite unlike the reasons
given to condemn domestic inequality. These facts are combined to
give an attractive and coherent picture of how the foreign policy
of a liberal state might be morally evaluated.
