August 6th, 2007 by Audrey
In an op-ed to today’s Washington Post, Ivo Daalder and Robert Kagan renew calls for the creation of a formalized Concert of Democracies to serve as a useful multi-lateral mechanism for bestowing legitimacy on international interventions. TNR’s Jonathan Chait says of the op-ed, “Others have proposed this idea before, but the pairing of the authors, and the logic they use to arrive at the conclusion, is interesting and worth a read.” Nikolas Gvosdev at The Washington Realist is not as impressed, complaining; “The fantasy of a vast alliance of democracies all anxious and eager to support the United States in the world just refuses.”
