CFR Forum: A Liberal Foreign Policy
This week’s CFR Forum features experts blogging on what a liberal foreign policy agenda from the Obama administration may look like. Bloggers in this forum include:

Will Marshall
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.
