At the beginning of the [[Obama Administration]], one notable policy proposal representing the views of liberals and globalists was titled ''A Plan for Action: A New Era of International Cooperation for a Changed World: 2009, 2010, and Beyond''.<ref name="Bolton2009"/> The plan promoted what it called "responsible sovereignty," and, among other statements, stated that "Global leaders increasingly recognize that alone they are unable to protect their interests and their citizens–national security has become interdependent with global security," and that the U.S. must, therefore, submit itself to "a rule-based international system that rejects unilateralism and looks beyond military might."<ref name="Bolton2009"/> In other words, this plan, while claiming to support "sovereignty," in actuality promotes EU-style globalism and "global governance" that would do away with real national sovereignty.<ref name="Bolton2009"/>
