I think it's interesting to think of the receiving side of this as well: how stable are democratic allies when their foreign policy can change election cycle to election cycle?
- zozbot234 5y agoThe foreign policy choices of liberal democracies tend to be far more stable, consensus-driven and cooperation-oriented actually. This is what the whole notion of a "liberal international order" ultimately boils down to. And it was hardly a failure - even the most recent and salient seeming "successes" of various more-or-less authoritarian polities are ultimately reliant on the "liberal" order working as well as it does.
