Defintion: Liberalism is a theory of international relations that states

that the state preferences play an imperative role in defining the


behaviour of the nations when it comes to maintaining international
relations. Liberalism is the theory which has strongly challenged the
realist theory of international politics and provided an alternative
school of thought. Most of the principle ethics of liberalism are just
contrary to the beliefs of realists. In the previous few decades,
liberalism has greatly influenced the government policies and public
policies of the international organizations and norms of various
international agencies. The theoretical underpinning of liberal
peacebuilding is the liberal peace: the idea that certain kinds of
(liberally constituted) societies will tend to be more peaceful, both in
their domestic affairs and in their international relations, than illiberal
states are. The international variant of this theory is the 'democratic
peace'. The tenets of liberal peacebuilding liberal democracy, liberal
human rights, market values, the integration of societies into
globalization and the centralized secular state-are not necessarily
universal (or universally applicable) values.
Traits: The first and foremost principle on which the liberal ideology
is based on is the idea of individual rights. Liberals argue that human
beings are born with certain rights which are natural. Rights are
certain conditions which are considered as necessary for the
development of human beings. Some of the most crucial individual
rights are: right to life, liberty and property. Liberals believe that
private property is an essential part of an individual’s development.
The liberal theory rests on the fact that the stronger the aggregate
benefit from social interactions across borders, the greater the demand
to engage in such interactions. According to the liberal theory,
societal demands are a variable, shifting with factors such as
technology, geography, and culture. The new liberal theory highlights
the significance of the domestic representative institutions.
Representation is a key determinant (along with the basic nature of
social demands themselves) of what states want, and therefore what
they do. Every government represents some group or the other.
Examples of liberalism in international relations:
United Nations: Established based on liberal ideas, to maintain peace,
protect human rights and promote international cooperation.
