Abstract: The international system is presented as a three-story construct, with the international governance institutions at the top, states in the middle, and civil and political society and social movements at the bottom.Within this construct, four types of globalism contend for hegemony today: the liberal international order; transformative (revolutionary) internationalism; mercantilist nationalism; and conservative (or sovereign) internationalism.Each has its own logic, but at various points normative principles and interests intersect with the logic of the others.This analytical model allows points of contention to be identified, but it also allows for areas of agreement to be recognized.It also suggests that what appears to be an increasingly chaotic international system can be understood to be one in transition from a previously hegemonic structure to a more pluralistic
