Europe to anchor a new world order, Carney says at EPC gathering

At the EPC meeting in Yerevan, Mark Carney argues Europe can lead a rebuilt international order and rejects a more insular, transactional world, as concerns grow over US commitment to NATO amid Trump's troop withdrawals from Germany. European leaders including Starmer and Macron discuss strengthening Europe’s defence, keeping Russia sanctions, and ensuring Europeans are at the table in any talks; Zelenskyy warns of a pivotal summer and calls for sanctions to stay, while EU officials advocate bolstering the European pillar of NATO and reviewing troop deployments, with mixed signals from Merz and Rutte about the transatlantic relationship.

MSC: Global Order in Flux as Wrecking-Ball Politics Reshapes Alliances

At the Munich Security Conference, the MSC report warns the international order is under pressure from “wrecking-ball politics,” with the United States driving shifts that erode long‑standing norms, Europe’s security feeling less assured, and trust in political systems waning. The bloc is urged to balance continued US engagement with greater autonomy, defense spending rises, and new security–trade partnerships form in response to Russia’s war and hybrid threats, though the outcome for global stability remains uncertain.

"NATO's Future Under Trump 2.0: Challenges and Alliances"

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's recent comments about NATO have sparked concern among global leaders, highlighting the potential challenges of a "Trump 2.0" presidency. With a history of dissatisfaction with NATO and a tendency to cozy up to authoritarian leaders, a second Trump term could lead to a more tumultuous and aggressive U.S. foreign policy, with potential impacts on alliances, adversaries, and the global order. The geopolitical environment has changed since Trump's first term, and a second term could see a more disordered world, with U.S. rivals and adversaries poised to thrive while traditional U.S. allies may suffer.

America's Crisis of Confidence: Debunking the Superpower Myth

Despite widespread perceptions of decline, the United States remains a global superpower with significant economic, military, and technological advantages over its competitors. While the international landscape has become more multipolar, with rising powers challenging American dominance, the US still holds a commanding position. However, the US faces new challenges in a world where other countries assert their interests and seek to challenge American influence. The rise of China, Russian aggression, and the changing dynamics in the Middle East are all testing the US-led international order. The US must adapt its strategy to navigate this new reality and maintain its position as a global leader.

The Credibility Crisis: A Growing Risk of Global Disorder

The Credibility Crisis: A Growing Risk of Global Disorder

The world is currently experiencing a crisis of credibility in global politics, with the international system rapidly losing credibility as no single power is seen as willing and able to uphold the international order. Recent events, such as deteriorating relations between the US and China, the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the Middle East conflict, are symptoms of this broader crisis. Credibility is crucial for states to turn power into influence, and without it, there is disorder and instability. The United States, as the incumbent global leader, is facing doubts about its credibility due to recent foreign policy choices and domestic division. China, on the other hand, is seeking to leverage its growing strength to reshape global politics but is facing challenges to its credibility due to its assertive foreign policy and domestic political control. As a result, the credibility of the current international system is eroding, creating leadership and institutional vacuums and giving rise to geopolitical swing states and shifting international alignments.

Global South Leaders Unite Against Exploitative International Order

Leaders from the Global South, represented by the G77+China summit, are demanding an end to the "plundering international order" dominated by wealthy Western nations.

The summit aims to address the multidimensional crisis faced by developing countries, including unequal trade and climate disasters. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres called for a more representative and responsive world that addresses the needs of developing economies. The meeting is expected to conclude with a statement emphasizing the right to development and the establishment of a new economic world order.

Chinese Foreign Minister clarifies stance on US-led international order.

Chinese Foreign Ministry clarified its position on the US-claimed 'rules-based international order' and emphasized the importance of effective communication and mutual respect between China and the US. China supports peace talks and political settlement in the Ukraine crisis and will not take sides or be influenced by biased sanctions. China is willing to conduct constructive communication and dialogue with the US, but both parties should ensure that communication is effective and addresses the concerns of both sides.

The Legacy of Henry Kissinger: Diplomacy and Controversy at 100.

Henry Kissinger's unsparing realism, forged by his childhood experience in Nazi Germany and his adult belief in American possibility, was essential to averting a global calamity during the Cold War. As secretary of state to President Richard Nixon, he helped to fashion an international order underwritten by a constellation of competing states, ensuring stability.

She called for a strategy to "de-risk" the EU's relationship and dependencies on China, including possible EU-wide controls on outbound investment.
