UK Urges Obama to Embrace 'New Multilateralism'
James Joyner | November 22, 2008UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband has called on President-Elect Barack Obama to embrace a "new multilateralism."
In a wide-ranging foreign policy speech referring back to then prime minister Tony Blair's doctrine of liberal interventionism, he said on Friday the world must learn the lessons of the Iraq and Afghanistan war. "In 1999, Tony Blair, in his Chicago speech, defined what became known as the doctrine of liberal interventionism," he said, according to the text of his speech released in advance. "Much of this rationale remains valid. But to restore belief in the efficacy of intervention we must learn the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan. We must work differently," he added.

And he said: "No problem can be solved without the US, but few can be solved by the US alone. It is out of pragmatism as well as principle that we need a new multilateralism," he said. "For a new multilateralism, we need a new bargain. The US must be prepared to share power and act in collaboration. But China, India, Europe, Brazil and Russia must be prepared to take on more responsibility as global players."
Milibrand cited the NIC's "Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World" report and its forecast that U.S. dominance is ending as part of the rationale for this new relationship.
