This order, they claim, ushered in seventy years of peace and prosperity and saw post-war America domesticate the world to its values.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe False Promise of Liberal Order\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the flaws in this nostalgic vision. The world shaped by America came about as a result of coercion and, sometimes brutal, compromise. Liberal projects - to spread capitalist democracy - led inadvertently to illiberal results. To make peace, America made bargains with authoritarian forces. Even in the Pax Americana, the gentlest order yet, ordering was rough work. As its power grew, Washington came to believe that its order was exceptional and even permanent - a mentality that has led to spiralling deficits, permanent war and Trump. Romanticizing the liberal order makes it harder to adjust to today's global disorder. Only by confronting the false promise of liberal order and adapting to current realities can the United States survive as a constitutional republic in a plural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Porter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509538682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509538683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Patrick Porter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634620461311,"sku":"9781509538683","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9be9c532-01ba-4342-a8f3-d63e09fe1ce3.jpg?v=1703590132","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-false-promise-of-liberal-patrick-porter-9781509538683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
