Realism, Liberalism and the Cuban Missile Crisis

[sbc143]

"The evolution of liberalism after the Cuban Missile Crisis progressed to explain how the crisis came to an end and how realism failed to account for human nature, and duties to protect life, liberty and property, which is explained by the Lockean Liberal foreign policy perspective. Therefore, the end of the Cold war was what liberals predicted and what realists never expected."

 

Does this make sense? do you agree or disagree?

I believe Mearsheimer (of UChicago) explains really well how and why liberal international order rose to top while realist order lost its significance after Cold War.  

Additionally, I suggest the second article in which he explains how Trump's election with many other reasons actually have caused this liberal international order to lose its power and possibly transform the world into a bipolar international order where USA and China will be the main powers.
