We need a rules-based world order, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be Liberal. If the countries of the world decide that the rules-based order should be Liberal, fine, but if a majority of countries decide to embrace a different ideology, or decide to be ideologically secular, then so be it. The important thing is that the rules-based order be democratic. That’s what matters most.
democratic rules based order would most certainly be liberal. if only because it will require a new liberty for everyone to be equally able to participate in it
I made a mistake. I typed lower case “liberal” when I should have typed upper case “Liberal.”
You’re right that a rules-based global order would certainly have some liberal characteristics. What I’m saying is that a rules-based order does not have to be purely ideologically Liberal, as in strictly adhere to the tenets of Liberalism, in order to be a functioning rules-based order. In fact, I think it would be best if the order were ideologically secular, otherwise non-Liberal nations would be left out of the order, significantly reducing its effectiveness.
