Overview
The liberal international order, established after World War II, is being challenged by the concept of global governance. The liberal order, characterized by a rules-based system, free trade, and human rights, is facing criticism for its perceived biases towards Western powers. Global governance, on the other hand, emphasizes cooperation and collective decision-making among nations, with a focus on addressing global challenges such as climate change and pandemics. Proponents of global governance argue that it can provide a more inclusive and equitable framework for international relations, while critics argue that it may lead to a loss of national sovereignty. The debate between these two ideologies has significant implications for the future of international relations, with some arguing that a hybrid approach may be the most effective way forward. According to a report by the Brookings Institution, 75% of experts believe that the liberal international order is facing a significant crisis, while a survey by the Pew Research Center found that 60% of people in emerging economies support a more multipolar world order.
