“What would a radically liberal foreign policy look like? I don’t think we’ve ever had one. As we’ve all seen it, foreign policy is the domain and the creature of nation-states, while liberalism aims at taking individuals’ liberties seriously. Making that liberty interest show through isn’t easy in foreign policy. … Liberalism at home starts with the individual, with their rights, their dignities, and their personal development. What would our foreign policy look like if we stopped seeing the world as consisting of 200-odd states? What if we saw foreign policy as mostly about a world of 8 billion individuals — with the states usually standing in the way of how we would prefer, as liberals, to treat them?” (04/10/25)
