"Dead Center: The Demise of Liberal Internationalism in the United States"
Journal Article, International Security, issue 2, volume 32
By Charles A. Kupchan and Peter L. Trubowitz
According to the prevailing wisdom, the largely unilateralist foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration is an aberration from the liberal internationalist foreign policy pursued by previous administrations. In reality, it represents a turning point in U.S. grand strategy. The geopolitical and domestic conditions that prevailed during much of the second half of the twentieth century produced bipartisan consensus on important foreign policy issues. These conditions have disappeared, as has the political center. As long as the United States remains polarized, no administration will be able to pursue a liberal internationalist foreign policy.
