Sovereign Internationalism is a political ideology centered around a commitment to cooperation among states and belief in the necessity of a global community founded upon the principle of mutual respect. It was founded on the idea that the sovereignty of a state against international forces is vital to the perceived right of self-determination held by a nation, but that cooperation among states is important in the preservation and improvement of society as a whole.
Supporters of Sovereign Internationalism - commonly referred to as "sovereign internationalists" or simply 'internationalists" - generally argue that great commitments among national governments must be made to advance the common interests of humanity. To do this, sovereign internationalists advocate the formation of international organizations to facilitate cooperation and promote a common understanding and respect among the peoples of the world. While proponents are often considered to be nationalists, the ideology applies many ideas characteristic of inter-nationalism and cosmopolitanism.
History
The term "sovereign internationalism" was first coined by the Foxomexran thinker Aronei Henolk in 1875 after a dispute between himself and his fellow socialists in the newly formed Federal Republic of Foxomexra. To them in order for the global socialist movement to succeed it was considered necessary to form an international commune, through which all people would interact and cooperate for the good of the community. They believed the existence of a state itself would prevent such a society from taking shape, and thus considered the still fledgling republic to be the perfect place to perform their Great Socialist Experiment. Henolk, while agreeing that cooperation through international mediums would result in greater success, nevertheless saw value in the state. He believed it served as a valuable tool in uniting and organizing the people, and did not consider the ideal of a completely global community that acted in the common interest to be achievable. Through the state Henolk figured the unique needs and preferences of people would be represented, while an international community could be formed consisting of these states, that would then discuss methods to work towards the betterment of society.
