When the Soviet Union collapsed, the most dangerous source of conflict in the world suddenly and unexpectedly evaporated.

There were also warnings that new global conflicts awaited.

Optimists had their own illusions, such as the belief that liberal market reforms in China would produce greater political freedom.

President Bill Clinton said he hoped to see the emergence of a China that was “stable, open, and non-aggressive, that embraces free markets, political pluralism, and the rule of law.

Blair thought it was possible that liberal democracy would be embraced in countries that later build their foreign policies around resistance to it.

The late 1990s would prove to be the high water mark for liberal internationalism.

The 11 September attacks fundamentally reshaped US foreign policy in the 21st century .

As the Iraq War and the global war on terror dragged on, the liberal interventionism Blair called for in Chicago was viewed with growing scepticism.
