Abstract

S krajem Hladnog rata i transformacijom iz bipolarnog u unipolarni međunarodni poredak došlo je do obnovljene želje za širenjem tekovina liberalnog internacionalizma po svijetu. Bez stvarnog protivnika u međunarodnoj areni, Zapad na čelu sa SAD-om mogao je nesputano djelovati i širiti svoje ideje, norme i vrijednosti po ostatku svijeta, a posebno u onim regijama gdje takve ideje nisu zastupljene. Dakako, brojne države su to shvatile kao oblik liberalnog ekspanzionizma, dapače i liberalnom ideologijom prikrivenog imperijalizma. Suvremeni liberalni internacionalizam, a pogotovo njegovo djelovanje u međunarodnim odnosima obilježava savez između dva tabora, liberalnih internacionalista i neokonzervativaca, zbog čega je nerijetko SAD djelovao unilateralno i zanemarivao pravila ponašanja u međunarodnim odnosima. Glavne metode s kojima Zapad u suvremeno doba ostvaruje svoje, zapravo, strateške ciljeve su tzv. humanitarne intervencije, naglašavanje međuzavisnosti i inzistiranje na multilateralizmu te sudjelovanju i slušanju uputa međunarodnih organizacija kao „nepristranih“ aktera u međunarodnim odnosima, a sve s ciljem postizanja demokratskog mira i stabilnosti. Taj poredak počinje nalikovati i djelovati kao imperij ne bi li zadržao svoju dominantnu ulogu u osvit multipolarnosti. Iz tog razloga, došlo je do povećanja nesigurnosti i pojave novih ugroza te revizionističkih sila kao izazivača trenutnog poretka. Budući sukobi u svijetu su, doima se, neizbježni.

Abstract (english)

With the end of the Cold War and the international order`s transformation from bipolar to unipolar, a renewed interest for the spread of values of liberal internationalism across the world has come to pass. Devoid of a real adversary in the international arena, the West spearheaded by the USA could act and spread its ideas, norms and values throughout the world, especially in those regions where such tenets were nonexistent. Of course, many understood such endeavors as forms of liberal expansionism or even, with the use of liberal ideology, disguised imperialism. Contemporary liberal internationalism, especially the way it operates within international relations, is defined by an alliance between liberal internationalists and neoconservatives, because of which the USA quite often acted unilaterally and without regard to the rules of conduct in international relations. The main methods ceontemporarily employed by the West in order to achieve its strategic goals are the so called humanitarian interventions, placing emphasis on interdependence and insisting on multilateralism as well as cooperating and abiding by the instructions of international organisations which act as „unbiased“ entities in international relations, all in order to achieve democratic peace and stability. This order starts resembling and acting as an empire as a means of preserving its dominant position at the dawn of multipolarity. As a consequence, there is a rise of insecurity, appearance of new threats as well as revisionist states acting as rivals of the existing order. Future conflicts in the world are, it would seem, imminent.
