    Contención y cosmopolitismo democrático
    in Foro Internacional , VOLUMEN XLVIII - NÚMERO 3 ,  2008
    The cosmopolitan democrats’ national security policy of choice is containment. Some believe that cosmopolitan democrats should support world government, a view that seems incompatible with endorsing any national security strategy such as containment. The arguments commonly given to support this view are fallacious. Containment shows more elective affinities with the democratic ideal of non-domination than with any existing alternatives. In an era of rogue regimes, weak states and itinerant terrorist threats, effective containment requires legitimization through international institutions and cooperation with other states through regional alliances.
