A foreign policy that sees the world
I coined the term “progressive realism.” What does it mean?
By Robert Wright, Washington Post
“Progressive realism,” according to Wikipedia, is “a foreign policy paradigm largely made popular by Robert Wright.” That’s me! So in principle I should have been gratified by the recent Foreign Affairs essay “The Case for Progressive Realism,” by British politician David Lammy. And I should be close to ecstatic now that Lammy, thanks to the Labour Party victory in last week’s election, is Britain’s foreign secretary.
