Idealism wilsonien

The design of the international relations known under the name of idealism wilsonien results from the policy of the American president Woodrow Wilson as expressed during his presidency, between 1912 and 1919. These formulated doctrines with various recoveries are in rupture with the policy of non-intervention of the USA in the businesses of Europe and the world.

January 8th, 1918, Wilson made his famous speech of the Fourteen Points, introducing the concept of Société of the Nations (SDN) an organization intended to preserve the territorial integrity and the political independence of all the nations, large and small.

Wilson took part personally for six months in the peace negotiations of Paris in 1919 to conclude the First World War. He succeeds in introducing the Charter of SDN into the Traité of Versailles signed the June 28th 1919.

Although honoured by the Nobel Prize with peace in 1920, it does not succeed in convincing the American Congress to ratify the Treaty. The United States returned to their traditional policy not interventionist. The thought of matter Wilson of international relations, who falls under the tradition of the projects of peace of the Abbé of Saint-Pierre and Emmanuel Kant, was on the other hand a certain success near his/her university colleagues. Thus, the first pulpit of international relations, founded in 1919 at the university of Aberystwyth, bears the name of Woodrow Wilson. This vision will thereafter be taxed d'" idéalisme" by those which will be called themselves the " réalistes" (Carr, Morgenthau…). It is the first debate (on four) in theory of the international relations, discusses which periodically remakes surface between the partisans of the international institutions and those which, more pessimistic, are interested only in the States.
