Resumo

A guerra russa contra a Ucrânia é um ataque aos valores liberais. Este ensaio baseia-se na análise crítica de alguns expoentes e defensores selecionados do liberalismo moderno nas Relações Internacionais, que recentemente apareceram em alguns meios de comunicação e revistas acadêmicas. Envolve-se criticamente com esta teoria das Relações Internacionais e oferece as vantagens e limitações, interpretações e perspectivas sobre ela, considerando a agressão na Ucrânia. Acima de tudo, discute as vantagens – preocupações de segurança, princípios de ética, defesa da independência nacional, difusão da democracia – e as desvantagens – ameaças à segurança, falácia do comércio, retorno geopolítico da Rússia, falta de análise a nível estatal – os espetáculos do liberalismo implica. O liberalismo é convincente na análise dos factos e tem um bom enquadramento teórico para explorar acontecimentos históricos e geopolíticos. No entanto, corre o risco de ser demasiado ingénuo e incompleto no seu diagnóstico.
