Document Summary
Types of liberalism (this list is not exhaustive) To an extent, neo-liberal institutionalism (the part where institutions foster cooperation) Classical trade leads to cooperation and peace: commercial, republican, ideational. ***variety of domestic factors and preferences impact state behaviour. Institutionalism: institutions as mechs for actors (most often states) to ensure that cooperation leads to desired outcomes. Institutions: agreed upon norms (standards of behaviour), rules, principles and practices. Informal (ex// 19th concert of eu sys, g7 meetings) 1: actors: states, self-interested, rational utility maximizers (rational calcs) 3: actors are interested in the pursuit of goals that are not always zero-sum (ex// in trade, International regimes can facilitate agreements by (even by selfish) actors where both sides can win) Continuity provide long shadow of future that ensures interactions are not one-off, where there is more temptation for actors to cheat. ***the result can be cooperation, even under anarchy.
