Announced last week, the plan will see international administrators making laws, and their police keeping them. First, let's be clear on two things.
Internationalism has little to do with broad strategic concerns, such as Taiwan-China ties.
Instead, internationalism views the world according to a certain morality, one represented by the UN and bodies like the International Court of Justice. Except that it places the savagery within international jurisdiction. But embraced by international groups, they gain an implied universalism. And just as understandable, as voters repudiate the Left, international bodies become the last refuge for those social-democrats inclined towards a politics informed by sentiment rather than reason. There, it seeks to increase its influence by defining more of the world within its purview.
