The Constructive Destruction of Liberal Internationalism and Strategic Scripting of Global Order
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The world order constructed by the winning combinations of transatlantic powers after World War-Ⅱ has already been shattered by the ‘not a peaceful’ rise of China amid the global debacles of the rise of terrorist states despite the continuum of war on terror, nuclear proliferation amid cessation of the traditional treatise, and global financial crises of 2008 challenging Western-led globalisation. The geopolitical assertion of Russia and the calibrated retreat of the USA to regain the lost strategic heft post-COVID-19 crisis, specifically in Europe and West Asia, global abuse of human rights, climate change catastrophe and sectional violence across the regions have become common sense. Trump 2.0 has accelerated the process already in motion through his ‘Make America Great Again’ or MAGA, America First policy, and his foreign policy based on the estimated economic and strategic benefits. This paper strives to analyse the new global order taking shape under the policies of President Trump by destroying the ruins of the post-1945 world order, or the common sense and entering into the world of 21st-century realism, which is far more advanced and agile than the hydrogen bomb is to the bow & arrow.
