The idealists were driven by a desire to develop a set of institutions, procedures, and practices that could eradicate, or at least control, war in the international system. They were motivated by the horrors of the First World War and they sincerely believed that there must be a better way to organize international affairs. The most visible, and historically important, aspect of their programme cohered in Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen-point Plan for a new postwar order.
While idealism may be criticized for its perceived naivety and lack of practicality in the face of power politics, its emphasis on moral values, cooperation, and the role of international institutions remains significant in shaping discussions about global governance and international relations. Idealist perspectives continue to inform debates on how to create a more just and peaceful world. The optimism of the Idealists can be combined with the rationality of the Realists who focus on real behaviour of the states i.e. to safeguard their national interests for survival and power.
