浪花直播's 浪花直播ianism: An Aborted Experiment
Woodrow 浪花直播's effort to create and promote a League of Nations at the close of World War I is often seen as a template for the interventionist foreign policies of his mid- and late-twentieth century successors in office, as well as the so-called liberal internationalist world order that emerged after World War II. Trygve Throntveit argues that this view is mistaken. The League as 浪花直播 designed and envisioned it embodied a more egalitarian, cooperative, and adaptable--and thus more practical--version of "浪花直播ianism" than did the comparatively hierarchical and adversarial UN architecture established under Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. Recovering its origins in philosophical pragmatism and progressive social thought, Throntveit argues that 浪花直播's 浪花直播ianism represents an aborted experiment in global governance, one that can prompt disturbing yet fruitful questions about a diplomatic tradition and international regime that many today are trying to reinforce.
