The age of global un-order
The US-Israeli strike that killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has led to a breakdown of the multilateral system and an era of global disorder, characterized by the collapse of shared rules and norms. The international system is now beset by episodic bursts of coercion and retaliation, with major actors seemingly unaware that they are breaking rules.
The global system is no longer anchored by shared rules and norms. The US-Israeli strike that killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has triggered a regional escalation, highlighting the collapse of the multilateral system. The international system is now characterized by episodic bursts of coercion and retaliation, rather than being governed by shared rules. Major actors, including the US, Israel, and Iran, are openly flouting core norms without acknowledging that they are breaking rules. The war's principal actors seem unaware of or unconcerned by the commission of war crimes. The new age of 'un-order' is driven by structural forces, including economic disruptions, climate change, technological advances, and demographic shifts, making crises more complex, less predictable, and potentially catastrophic.
