Liberal World Order is seen by many as either a fading
international order in response to declining American hegemony, or
as a failing international order riddled with internal tensions and
contradictions. Either way, liberal world order is assumed to be in
crisis. The contributors to Liberal World Orders do not reject the
argument that liberal order is in crisis. Instead they contend that
the crisis is primarily one of authority. This has been compounded
by the relative lack of historical context supplied by liberal
theorists of 'the international'. By not looking further than the
20th century, the field has ignored moments when similar tensions
and contradictions have been evident. The authors question the way
in which the debate about liberalism has been conducted. Against
the theoreticians it is proposed that liberalism has suffered from
being too closely tied to the quest for scientific authenticity,
resulting in a theoretical perspective with little or no commitment
to political values and political vision. By reformulating the
classical liberalism of Kant, Paine, and Mill into neo-liberalism,
liberalism lost its critical and normative potential. Against the
policy-makers it is proposed that the practices of liberal ordering
are resilient enough to prove durable despite the relative decline
in the power and authority of liberal states. Just as cooperative
practices between states predated liberalism, aspects of world
order today which evolved during the high point of liberal
internationalism may succeed in outliving liberalism.
