%T Liberal Bias: Why the International Governance System is Struggling and the Contestation Strategies of Authoritarian States %A Salvati, Federico %P 16 %V 90 %D 2023 %K liberal bias; framing %@ 1434-419X %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-90141-8 %X Why do countries like China and Russia appeal to international law to support their policy? In addition, why is the liberal system in a crisis if ideas like democracy and human rights are so pervasive within the political debate? In the following paper, I will try to answer these questions by looking at how liberal theory has influenced the development of today’s governance structure. I will then move to comment on what I call the "liberal bias" of international governance referring to relevant literature on the concept of categorisation and categorical thought in neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Finally, following my theoretical baseline, I will present a quick analysis of how autocracies use linguistic categories to influence the evolution of liberal values. %C DEU %C Berlin %G en %9 Arbeitspapier %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
