SOLLER, Diana. Institutional Cooperation among Democracies: A Liberal Order for the Twenty First Century?. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2009, n.23, pp.105-118. ISSN 1645-9199.

The generalized perception that the international system is changing due to the emergence of new great powers has been motivating analysts and policy makers to advance new proposals for institutional cooperation among democracies. This article studies two of those proposals - John McCain's "League of Democracies" and the one of a study group of Princeton University - and argues that they have very different origins and possible outcomes. Their differences are grounded in two competing conceptions of the United States role as global liberal actor.

Keywords : international order; liberal order; West; League of Democracies.
