What should replace the American-led world order? | Aslı Bâli and Samuel Moyn
The American-led world order is in decline, and it is time to stop mourning the old order and build the foundations of a new multipolar world. The current moment calls for an anti-war agenda suited to an inevitably plural and rivalrous world. This new order should be based on mutual restraint and a commitment to limiting the right of self-defense and preventing proxy wars.
- ▪The American-led world order, also known as Pax Americana, has been in decline.
- ▪The old order was flawed and morally bankrupt, and its decline presents an opportunity to build a new multipolar world.
- ▪A new anti-war agenda should include commitments to limiting the right of self-defense, preventing annexation or territorial acquisition by force, and avoiding proxy wars.
