Intergovernmental organizations and the future of the international order

— What will international institutions look like in years to come, and what role will they have in the world order?

Institutions such as the United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU) are a foundational aspect of the current global order, and continue to spread liberal messages globally, or do they?

Two articles from International Affairs’ new special issue evaluate international organizations as spaces of contestation, where both external threats from illiberal states and threats from within threaten their efficacy.
 
Authors from Deglobalization? The future of the liberal international order discuss this topic, reflecting on how these changes relate to deglobalization.
