2. Why is 'Neo-Idealism' called 'Neo-Idealism'?

- I outlined this new approach to #IR & Grand Strategy in a previous thread (see linked tweet).
- Now I dig deeper into the name & concept

“1. What is Neo-Idealism? (seeing as many of you have asked) It’s a new approach to Grand Strategy & International Relations that I think we can see emerging in responses to #Russia’s war & from #Ukraine’s brave resistance. 1st 🧵in a series on #NeoIdealism 1/25”

Does pursuing interests in international relations necessarily mean having to compromise on values?

@[email protected] says no, and proposes #Neoidealism as a way to make progressive values state interests in themselves, so as to revive and promote democracy worldwide. 🧵

@Euan_MacDonald Dear Euan, I'm afraid it is hardly avoidable, although as a citizen I often find it depictable. We can just see how Qatar, Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia feel embolded to do what they want because Europe need them to break from Russian energy resources. I think the best we can expect is that European countries will keep doing compromises (but not any kind of compromise), but not just throw away all values for the sake of business.
