Abstract
What differentiates progressive grand strategies from other variants of US grand strategy? Van Jackson’s “Left of Liberal Internationalism: Grand Strategies within Progressive Foreign Policy Thought” argues that progressives reject the idea that security is limited to questions about the use of military force. Jackson begins instead with a broader concept of security rooted in “peace, democracy, and equality.” 1 Following from these commitments, he proposes three progressive grand strategies. First, progressive pragmatism prioritizes economic equality, seeking to mitigate threats posed by corrupt autocrats. Second, antihegemonism attempts to rein in American military power and imperialism. Third, peacemaking aims to respond to structural causes of violence and advocates for wide-spread disarmament.
期刊介绍：
Security Studies publishes innovative scholarly manuscripts that make a significant contribution – whether theoretical, empirical, or both – to our understanding of international security. Studies that do not emphasize the causes and consequences of war or the sources and conditions of peace fall outside the journal’s domain. Security Studies features articles that develop, test, and debate theories of international security – that is, articles that address an important research question, display innovation in research, contribute in a novel way to a body of knowledge, and (as appropriate) demonstrate theoretical development with state-of-the art use of appropriate methodological tools. While we encourage authors to discuss the policy implications of their work, articles that are primarily policy-oriented do not fit the journal’s mission. The journal publishes articles that challenge the conventional wisdom in the area of international security studies. Security Studies includes a wide range of topics ranging from nuclear proliferation and deterrence, civil-military relations, strategic culture, ethnic conflicts and their resolution, epidemics and national security, democracy and foreign-policy decision making, developments in qualitative and multi-method research, and the future of security studies.
