An analytical, critical consideration of a liberal approach to values is carried out to explain the soundness of the international regimes proposed by Hasenclever, Mayer, and Rittberger. By agreeing to, albeit temporarily, the forenamed authors´ classification, this paper presents a critique-based exposition of the approaches they have labeled as rationalist -logic aimed at goals- and sociological -values as defined by an international society-. Later on the proposal of the liberal approach -values as defined within a nation- is presented, and the conclusion features fundamental components for a fourth alternative approach that is based on the decentered nature of contemporary societies, which in turn leads to the need to carry out a multidimensional evaluation of international regimes and their soundness.
