Resumo: The Russian war against Ukraine is an attack on liberal values. This essay bases itself on the critical analysis of few selected exponents and defenders of modern liberalism in International Relations, which recently appeared in some media outlets and academic reviews. It critically engages with this International Relations’ theory and offers the advantages and limitations, interpretations, and outlook on it considering the aggression in Ukraine. Most of all, it discusses the advantages – security concerns, principles of ethics, defence of national independence, spread of democracy – and the disadvantages – security threats, fallacy of trade, geopolitical return of Russia, lack of State-level analysis – liberalism’s spectacles entails. Liberalism is convincing in analyzing the facts and has a good theoretical frame for exploring historical and geopolitical events. However, it risks being too naïve and incomplete in its diagnosis.

Este ensaio baseia-se na análise crítica de alguns expoentes e defensores selecionados do liberalismo moderno nas Relações Internacionais, que recentemente apareceram em alguns meios de comunicação e revistas acadêmicas. Envolve-se criticamente com esta teoria das Relações Internacionais e oferece as vantagens e limitações, interpretações e perspectivas sobre ela, considerando a agressão na Ucrânia. Acima de tudo, discute as vantagens – preocupações de segurança, princípios de ética, defesa da independência nacional, difusão da democracia – e as desvantagens – ameaças à segurança, falácia do comércio, retorno geopolítico da Rússia, falta de análise a nível estatal – os espetáculos do liberalismo implica. O liberalismo é convincente na análise dos factos e tem um bom enquadramento teórico para explorar acontecimentos históricos e geopolíticos. No entanto, corre o risco de ser demasiado ingénuo e incompleto no seu diagnóstico.Universidade Estadual de Alagoas - Eduneal2023-10-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/266810.48017/dj.v8i4.2668Diversitas Journal; Vol. 8 No. 4 (2023): Science, innovation and the role of the university in the production of knowledge; 2764-2772Diversitas Journal; Vol. 8 Núm. 4 (2023): Ciencia, innovación y el papel de la universidad en la producción de conocimiento; 2764-2772Diversitas Journal; v. 8 n. 4 (2023): Ciência, inovação e o papel da universidade na produção de conhecimento; 2764-27722525-521510.48017/dj.v8i4reponame:Diversitas Journalinstname:Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)instacron:UNEALenghttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/2668/2264Copyright (c) 2023 Amedeo Gasparinihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGasparini, Amedeo2023-12-29T21:55:01Zoai:ojs.diversitasjournal.com.br:article/2668Revistahttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/indexPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/muralinternacional/oairevistadiversitasjournal@gmail.com2525-52152525-5215opendoar:2023-12-29T21:55:01Diversitas Journal - Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)false
