From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Progressive realism is a
foreign policy paradigm largely made popular by
Robert Wright in 2006
[1] which focuses on producing measurable results in pursuit of widely supported goals.
[2] It supports stronger international institutions, free trade, and U.S. national interests.
[2] The UK Shadow Foreign Secretary,
David Lammy , has suggested that Progressive Realism will underpin his foreign policy in a speech to the
Fabian Society .
[3]
Progressive realists' beliefs stand in stark contrast to those of
neoconservatives . Unlike neoconservatives, progressive realists highlight the importance of strong participation in the
United Nations and acquiescence to
international law .
[4] They assert that
international security and
economic interdependence enable international governance to advance national interests.
[4]
[5] The policy emphasizes the need to convert
"hard" power and
"soft" power into
"smart" power .
