Talk:Idealism (international relations)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Idealism

Needs 'basic theory' explained

[edit] Need merge / redefinition

Wilsonianism currently redirects to Idealism in international relations, which doesn't have that much to say about the eponymous Woodrow Wilson.

Wilsonian currently is a stub, but one which does mention Wilson's principles and policies.

We need to either

(1) Effectively merge Wilsonian and Idealism in international relations

or

(2) Make Wilsonian and Wilsonianism direct to the same page (I suppose "Wilsonianism" is the better choice), and make Idealism in international relations a separate page. (Of course, these pages may mention each other.)

Personally, I prefer option (2). -- Writtenonsand 20:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC) (sig added)

I think Wilsonian, as an adjective, ought to redirect to a noun. It would be Wilsonianism, but that would create a double redirect, so it should redirect to Idealism in international relations. Let's merge the Wilsonianism content into the Idealism article.—thames 01:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] US-centric Tag

I think there ought to be a US-centric tag here. This article seems to be fairly US centric, with little mention of other points of view.
