The reason why is because you won't find neoliberalism in IR. The author is an academic, I have a postgrad in IR, neoliberalism was a term invented by people who opposed the ideas, there is no accepted positive definition of neoliberalism, and it isn't a term you see often outside popular culture.
- sfpotter 4y agoI don't think this is the primary factor. As another commenter mentioned, Politico does indeed have a low incidence of the word "neoliberalism". Not all of Politico's contributors are involved in academic international relations, so this isn't an explanation. It might be that Politico is biased in favor of the worldview promulgated by academic international relations, but this is back to my point---news sources are biased, and this bias constrains the acceptable range of debate. (Please note that I am not personally making a judgment call as to whether or not this is good or bad. Just making an observation and answering the original question.)
