  Internationalism (politics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internationalism is a political movement which advocates a greater economic and political cooperation between nations for the benefit of all.
Internationalism is by nature opposed to ultranationalism, jingoism and national chauvinism as well as to strictly economic globalization movements which deny the value of other nations' culture and differences.
The term internationalism is often wrongly used as a synonym for cosmopolitanism.

 Perry Anderson, Internationalism: A breviary
Whatever sense is given it, the meaning of internationalism logically depends on some prior conception of nationalism, since it only has currency as a back-construction referring to its opposite.
Internationalism in this sense is no longer coordination of the major capitalist powers under American dominance against a common enemy, the negative task of the Cold War, but an affirmative ideal—the reconstruction of the globe in the American image, sans phrases.
Internationally, Islamic fundamentalism and Catholic post-integrism muster as residual place-holders for alternative forms of life, notionally less captive to the world of consumption.

 V.Koutalis: Balkan internationalism
It is also true, however, that the emergence of rationalism, as a prominent philosophical orientation, the recourse to the common ability for reasonable cogitation and the invocation of the conscious collective will of civil society, could not but foster the belief that the struggle against absolutism and tyranny bore a definite universalistic undertone[i].
Internationalism was the awareness, enunciated in political terms, from the exploited and oppressed part of European societies of the fact that freedom and happiness were not to be obtained inside the borders of a nation-state, neither under the auspices of the compatriot capitalists or landowners.
The history of Balkan internationalism seems to be interrupted at the ends of the decade of 1920, when the Parties of Communist International, the one after the other, adopted the program of “socialism in one country”, and, as a result, pulled out of the way the perspective of an internationalist solution for actual political problems.

 Internationalism and Its Betrayal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Although internationalism is typically understood to be diametrically opposed to nationalism, Micheline Ishay argues to the contrary, maintaining that internationalism often incorporates an individualist element that manifests itself as nationalism during critical periods such as war.
For example, the new liberal internationalism invoked after the cold war is now revealing its limits-as reflected by the UN's inability to interfere promptly to stop ethnic and nationalist conflicts in Bosnia, Rwanda, and elsewhere.
Internationalism and Its Betrayal explores the tensions and contradictions between ideas of nationalism and internationalism, focusing on the major political thinkers from the early modern period into the nineteenth century.

 The Center for Security Policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
This is the debate between the internationalism of Theodore Roosevelt and that of Woodrow Wilson, between the internationalism of Ronald Reagan and that of Jimmy Carter.
It is the internationalism of Jimmy Carter, squeamish and guilty about American power and content to base America's security, and the world's security, on arms control agreements rather than on American arms.
This is the internationalism which in the late 1970's and early 1980's favored the SALT II agreement and the "nuclear freeze" and opposed the Reagan arms buildup and the Strategic Defense Initiative.

 The Future of Liberal Internationalism | TPMCafe
America’s postwar internationalism was a remarkable synthesis of ideas, impulses and strategies that gave this American orientation a wide and robust domestic constituency.
Post-1945 liberal internationalism had more components and layers – and it was built with a more complex theory of what has to be done to ensure a stable, open, and friendly international environment for America.
Ikenberry also posits four characteristics of liberal internationalism, including a commitment to open trade, reliance on inter-governmental institutions for international cooperation, a domestic social safety net to protect against the economic dangers of internationalism, and the use of cooperative security such as in NATO.

 Tony Blair’s Internationalism by Michael S. Rozeff
Blair’s first speech, delivered on March 21, 2006 is two parts attack on the anti-war critics and one part advertisement of Blair’s brand of internationalism.
They were the "dangerous and ruthless men" who by Blair’s exalted insight into world values had to be shown the door, so that future tyrants-in-training would learn a lesson and behave themselves.
Internationalism is a bigger version of statism, subject to the same criticisms, only more so.

 what happened to liberal internationalism? | TPMCafe
We all finally figured out that the loudest mouths of "liberal internationalism" happened to all come from the social class which was as likely to serve in the wars they create as George Bush was.
You're right, the cause of 'liberal internationalism' is most likely to come out of the mouths of people in an elite class for whom military service is infrequent.
Liberal internationalism, detente, containment, loving thy neighbor, and meetings of the Security Council are, well, boring as hell to the new generation of news/entertainment junkies.

 Emancipating Labor Internationalism
As early-industrial capitalism developed into a national-industrial-colonial capitalism, the internationalism of labor became literally international, and simultaneously lost its emancipatory aspiration and capacity (or vice versa).
The dramatic — and labor-devastating — development of a globalised-networked-informatised capitalism is raising the necessity and possibility of a new kind of labor internationalism, capable not only of defence against neo-liberal globalisation but also of an emancipatory challenge to capitalism as such.
The paper responds to the 'New Labor Internationalism' theme of a major international research project on 'Rethinking Social Emancipation'.

 TCS Daily - Against Illiberal Internationalism
Framing the debate in terms of a realist/liberal internationalist dichotomy has created a blind spot in the public debate about the means and the ends of American foreign policy.
Their utter refusal, however, to challenge the permanence of any existing state or the legitimacy of any existing government will limit their terms of engagement to winning the approval of as many states as possible.
In an international system that insists all are states are equal, that there is no meaningful difference between tyrannies, oligarchies and democracies, this is the death of a liberal and democratic internationalism.

 International Relations Center | | Candidates' Internationalism
Both major candidates are squarely in the internationalist camp, while the minor ones are closer to the populist tradition of isolationism.
There are, however, also striking differences between the internationalism of the two major candidates, and between the isolationism/nationalism of the two minor ones.
The internationalism of Bush surfaced publicly in May when George W. signaled his support for a continued U.S. military presence in Kosovo--in direct opposition to the isolationist wing of the Republican party that opposes most U.S. military operations unless they are directly tied to protecting concrete U.S. interests--that is, lives, property, and corporate profits.

 Hampton Stephens: Whither liberal Internationalism?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
In TPM Café's America Abroad section, Princeton's G. John Ikenberry has written a very interesting post on whether liberal internationalism can be rebuilt in the wake of the present neo-conservative detour in U.S. foreign policy.
Liberal internationalism, like most labels for foreign policy ideologies, means many different things to many different people.
To neo-conservatives, on the other hand, liberal internationalism means a naive faith in international institutions as a substitute for American power.

 H-Net Review: Chizuru Saeki on Cultural Internationalism and World Order
To sustain cultural internationalism in a multicultural society, Iriye emphasizes the necessity to develop a strategy which incorporates the diversity of humanity into an agenda for internationalist programs by maintaining multidirectional, open, intellectual discourses with representatives of all cultural traditions in order to cope with contemporary trans-national issues (p.
In this sense, I would argue that Japanese cultural internationalism was not restricted by U.S. occupation and the Cold War, rather it spread from an elitist, intellectual and limited debate to a grass roots movement.
Iriye's argument that cultural internationalism is led by intellectuals is at odds with the realization that an elite-oriented ideology was interpreted by the mass and used to change foreign policy in cooperation with a grass roots movement.

 The hazards of internationalism, by Alain Gresh
What is new, however, is that the left has for the first time abandoned its principles of internationalism and brotherhood.
The stagnation of the Soviet system and the collapse of the communist utopia brought discredit on a certain version of internationalism.
Even the humanitarianism, which rallied millions of men and women to the cause of emergency aid in time of war and natural disaster, rapidly ran out of steam.

 Conservative Internationalism and Our Transatlantic Agenda - U. S. Embassy Dublin, Ireland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
That theme is “Conservative Internationalism and Our Transatlantic Agenda.” This title covers two highly important topics that every student of foreign policy throughout the world should understand: “conservative internationalism,” a strong influence on the foreign policy of the Bush Administration, and the “transatlantic agenda,” meaning the priorities of the U.S.-EU relationship.
Conservative internationalism traces its origins to the interventionist policies of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William McKinley, culminating in the so-called “rollback strategy” of President Ronald Reagan.
Their main point of difference, however, is that conservative internationalism sees the nation-state as the main actor in global affairs, while liberal internationalism sees multilateral institutions as the best way of advancing a global agenda.

Bayh, a member of the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees, emphasized the continuity of "Progressive Internationalism" with the rich tradition of Democratic national security thinking that stretches back to Thomas Jefferson, and that encompasses such critical contributors to the world's peace and freedom as Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F.
As the authors of "Progressive Internationalism" conclude: "The party that led America out of isolation in the 20th century is prepared to lead America out of unilateralism in the 21st century.

 Monthly Review July-August 2000 John Bellamy Foster
The two major elements governing such internationalism, in his analysis, were the critique of international exploitation and the development of a working-class movement that was both national and international in its organization.
The character of Marx's internationalism was defined by his acceptance of the existence of many diverse societies and by his emphasis on the intensive organization of the individual society.
Socialist internationalism, as set out by Marx, was thus a form of egalitarian universalism that could only develop through national struggles and the creation of multinational societies in which none would have any special privilege.

 Kim R. Holmes, "American Internationalism: Promoting Freedom, Democracy and Development," American Internationalism - ...
Unlike the leaders of unfree societies, we believe that economic and political freedoms, human rights, and opportunity are not privileges to be handed out by the elite to those they favor; they are rights of every man and woman that must be protected and promoted.
The promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms is in the national interest of every member of the international community because governments that protect human rights are those best able to secure peace, promote economic development, combat international terrorism and crime, avoid humanitarian crises, and improve the global environment.
President Bush's "distinctly American internationalism" resonates with Americans because it is a response to the real and global threats of terrorism, pandemic disease, poverty, trafficking in persons, and more.

 John O'Sullivan on internationalism on National Review Online
As the U.S. support for NAFTA and NATO suggests, there is a more subtle choice facing us — namely a choice between two very different sorts of internationalisminternationalism which rests on cooperation between independent nation-states and supra-nationalism which seeks to subordinate sovereign states to new forms of international agency.
This distinction between supra-nationalism and internationalism is, of course, an abstraction.
When the Bush administration resists making unlimited, open-ended and unknowable commitments, it is not resisting internationalism — it is objecting to rule by unaccountable international elites.

 danieldrezner.com :: Daniel W. Drezner :: What is liberal internationalism?
Liberal internationalism (at least in the post-WWII, post-Hiroshima Reinhold Niebuhr variant) is restrained, by a basic and pervasive humility regarding America's motives and fundamental character.
Liberal internationalism is that foreign policy approach that seeks to use power to establish an international order based on rules and predictable outcomes.
So, while we can't really define internationalism as a "good" that all agree should be promoted, we agree that transnational institutions should be given the power and authority to accomplish the difficult-to-define objective.

 Victor Silverman / Imagining Internationalism in American and British Labor, 1939-49
In a striking departure from the conventional wisdom, Victor Silverman argues that the ideology of the cold war was essentially imposed from above and came into conflict with the attitudes workers developed about internationalism.
His study, the first to look at internationalism from the point of view of the worker, confirms at the level of social and cultural history that the postwar tensions between the Anglo-Americans and the Soviets took several years to become a new orthodoxy.
Silverman demonstrates that for millions of trade unionists in dozens of countries the cold war began in late 1948 rather than between 1945 and 1946, as generally recorded by diplomatic historians.
