"Inconsistencies and failures abound throughout the liberal international order. They result from taking opportunities when they presented themselves, writing off engagements that became too costly or politically unsupportable, making compromises when values and interests came into conflict, accepting the obduracy of opposition by countries across some policy portfolios (coupled with cooperation on others), policy bungles, hubris, ignorance, and even malevolence." - Kori Schake
