 Is a Libertarian Foreign Policy Possible?
 66 pages, paperback
 From the foreword:
 Libertarian domestic and foreign policy wants to regulate the social (worldwide) contexts as decentrally as possible, with little state, without ties to international organizations and privately via the markets and free trade. The aim is to free people (or the state) from the multitude of ties and international treaties so that they “become their own property” (Max Stirner). Examples here are the evangelical congregations in the USA or the kibbutzim. The publication now looks into the question of whether there is such a thing as a libertarian foreign policy. The result is that large territorial states tend to be imperial because of long borders and conflicts with many neighbors, especially since they are only so big because of this imperialism. The USA is rarely libertarian (= isolationist) in terms of foreign policy and only withdraws from world politics for a short time (1920, 2017). It is likely that domestically structured libertarian small states like Switzerland with its decentralized cantons and its social self-organization (militia) do not want to be bound in foreign policy to international institutions that only make people dependent. And in states like Monaco, Liechtenstein and the Vatican City, a libertarian, largely non-binding foreign policy is per se possible, especially since these can hardly be prescribed. The medium-sized states (most of them) are somewhere between the poles of this scale libertarian - imperial. Finally, the question is asked whether Heidegger's idea of the village is as decentralized as the libertarian one.
