James E. Cronin contends that liberalism has never been a stable ideology, and since the 1930s, the international order has had to be constantly crafted, redeployed, and extended in response to both triumphs and setbacks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with the German and Japanese efforts in the 1930s to establish a system based on empire, race, economic protectionism, and militant nationalism, Cronin demonstrates how the postwar system, established in the aftermath of fascism, repeatedly reinvented itself in the face of the Cold War, anticolonial insurgencies, the economic and political crises of the 1970s, the collapse of communism, the rise of globalization, and the financial crisis of 2008. Cronin emphasizes the interconnectedness of internal and external politics in sustaining liberal order on a global scale and the domestic origins and correlates of the present difficulties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFragile Victory offers the necessary backdrop to comprehend diverse challenges such as Brexit's triumph, Trump's election, the rise of populism, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780300247855\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James E.
