of alliances is found in John Mearsheimer, "Back to the Future: Instability in Eu-

his edited volume, Multilateralism Matters: The Theory and Praxis of an Institutional
Form ( New York: Columbia University Press, 1993), pp. 3-47. On p. 8, Ruggies says

ing these points. On the importance of institutionalizing ideas, see Goldstein, Ideas,

World Order." Regarding the Wilsonian impulse's resonance with the American
public, Ninkovich observes that "Wilsonian ideology became 'sedimented' as part
of American political culture." Frank Ninkovich, Modernity and Power: A History of

1994), p. 67.
