America's Foreign Policy Practice Ecam

Revisionists critique the Liberal Economic International Order primarily because they believe it has led to the promotion of American economic dominance over other nations. They argue that this dominance creates an uneven playing field in global trade and economics, favoring the United States while marginalizing other countries. This critique centers on the notion that the international order is structured in a way that upholds U.S. interests, often at the expense of the economic well-being and sovereignty of less powerful nations. Through mechanisms such as trade agreements and financial institutions, revisionists argue that the order systematically perpetuates U.S. hegemony rather than fostering equitable economic development globally.

In contrast, increased international cooperation, strengthening of global peace efforts, and improvement of environmental policies are aspects generally supported by proponents of the Liberal Economic International Order, who argue that it helps to create a stable and cooperative international environment. These elements do not align with the revisionist perspective, which is more focused on highlighting the hierarchical nature of global economic relationships and the resulting implications for power dynamics among states.
