Document Summary
September 11th, 2017: multilateralism as a policy choice. There are shades and degrees of multilateralism. Qualitative: relationship based on rules rather than power. Rules apply to all, regardless of power capabilities. Great power restraint: great powers must commit to following rules, not doing whatever they want. They create the rules often so they can make rules that benefit them that they want other people to follow. Equality under the rules (same rules apply to everyone) This creates legitimacy for the rules, empowering ios. Conforms to existing laws, rules, principles, standards, or expectations. Normative: expectation of most countries on a lot of issues that they will work together. Functional: can"t get problems solved if everyone is not working together. Domestic/american identity: ios and ml solve america"s problem, america did not want an empire when it came to power. Ios allow america to write rules for the world that others will follow that benefit america.
