Progressive realism
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.[6]
