CFR’s Peter Beinart kicks off the discussion. Beinart asks:

• Must a liberal foreign policy put international law and international institutions at its core?
• How central is the promotion of liberal democracy to a liberal foreign policy?
• Should liberals be unalterably opposed to preventive war as a means of nuclear non-proliferation?
• To what extent must a liberal foreign policy be an anti-imperial one?

Check back in throughout the week to see how the forum’s other participants respond to Beinart’s questions, and lay out their own ideas about President-elect Barack Obama’s foreign policy.
