Covering 5,000 years of history, Amitav Acharya’s new book argues that the world order has never been the monopoly of any civilization or nation but is a “shared” creation. Drawing on this argument, this talk will address whether the US-led postwar Liberal international order is indeed in terminal crisis and if its passing will be catastrophic. We will also explore what shape the next world order might take – multipolarity, bipolarity, a transactional US hegemony, a world of regions, or a “Global Multiplex.”
