In conclusion I wish to return to the three major points that, in the introduction, I claimed would arise from this investigation. These points draw focus to the ongoing interrogation of the relationship between Liberalism and Realism in IR along with the attendant critiques of their dichotomous worldviews. And these points are also of pertinence to historical-Csociological investigations of the relationship between liberal ethics and illiberal politics in modern world history, investigations the narratives of which are never far removed from the interrogation of modern political thought.
