Abstract
In this chapter, Wendt discusses whether compromising for peace and public justification tends to establish liberal institutions (or even liberal institutions of a specific kind). There is some plausibility to the claim that liberal institutions, broadly conceived, form well-working modus vivendi arrangements. But modus vivendi arrangements need not take the form of liberal institutions, and hence compromises made for peace cannot always establish liberal institutions. It is also plausible that public justification rules out deeply illiberal institutions. But compromises made for public justification can lead to many different sorts of liberal institutions.
