Kantisch inspirierte Erwartungen auf eine liberale internationale Friedensordnung sowie ein erreichtes »Ende der Geschichte« (Fukuyama), i.e. ein ideologischer Sieg der westlichen Werte der Menschenrechte, der Demokratie und der Rechtsstaatlichkeit − ein Ende der ideologischen (Klassen-)Kämpfe − sin…
