History of Global Politics

This document discusses the history of internationalism, outlining two main categories: liberal internationalism and socialist internationalism. Liberal internationalism was influenced by thinkers like Kant, Bentham, and Mazzini who advocated for greater cooperation between sovereign states through international law and organizations. Woodrow Wilson furthered this by promoting self-determination and his 14 points after WWI. Socialist internationalism, influenced by Marx, rejected nationalism and advocated for international workers unity beyond borders. The Socialist International was formed in 1889 to campaign for workers' rights. Overall internationalism deepened global interactions and interdependence between states.
