This book challenges the prevailing Western belief that the United States should actively promote liberal democracy, open economies, and international institutions globally. The author contends that the pursuit of liberal hegemony, America's foreign policy since the Cold War's end, is fundamentally flawed and destined to fail. Instead of fostering peace and human rights, this policy has led to increased militarization and conflicts that undermine liberal values at home and abroad. The work advocates for a more restrained foreign policy grounded in a realistic understanding of international relations and the constraints of nationalism.
