Dr. Frederking Set to Publish New Book Next Year
Lebanon, IL (07/05/2022) — Dr. Brian Frederking, professor of political science at McKendree University, will be publishing a new book next year. Titled "Renegotiating the Liberal Order: Evidence from the UN Security Council," the new book is slated to be published in February 2023. This will be Dr. Frederking's fifth published book.
In this new book, Dr. Frederking challenges the increasingly popular "decline of the liberal order" narrative by examining the practices of the Security Council in the decades since the end of the Cold War for evidence. Relying on both qualitative and quantitative data, he shows that the council has consistently enforced liberal rules to resolve conflicts regarding war crimes, human rights and democracy. What many interpret as a decline, he argues in this book, is instead a process of renegotiation - the outcome of which remains a liberal order, but one that is less influenced than in the past by the United States and its allies.
