G. John Ikenberry, the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Politics and International Affairs in Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, provides the most systematic statement yet about the theory and practice of the liberal international order. It is a

forceful message for policymakers, scholars and general readers about why America must renegotiate its relationship with the rest of the world and pursue a more enlightened strategy — one of the liberal leviathan.
