Abstract
This article aims to address the question of how contemporary world peace can be explained from the perspective of the English School. The English School is grounded in the concepts of natural law and order in international society, which constitute an intellectual legacy derived from Britain’s imperial history in the nineteenth century and were subsequently carried forward by the United States after the Second World War and throughout the Cold War under the banner of the liberal international order. The principal instruments for maintaining this liberal world order include military power—particularly maritime power—as well as liberal international mechanisms, namely free-market capitalism, democratic governance, and international organizations. Taken together, these elements are summarized as liberalism. When considering the rise of China as a great power, it becomes evident that although China’s political system remains socialist and communist in nature, it nevertheless depends on the liberal international order for its future growth. In the contemporary world, liberalism is widely regarded as the final political ideology of humankind.
