International Order Trends and their effects on the South American chessboard
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2020, Vol 11, Issue 55
Abstract
The starting point of this article is that the so-called Liberal World Order is questioned by a set of global trends, among which the following stand out: the rise of China; the emergence and extension of illiberal political leadership; a certain degree of decline in free trade, in favour of less multilateral and more protectionist policies. The configuration of these global trends affects the margins of manoeuvre that South American countries have to design and execute their strategies for international insertion. For this reason, we propose to identify the most relevant global and South American trends while we assume that they constrain, and enable, affect and shape, to certain degrees and intensities, the dynamics of our region. By virtue of the foregoing, this article begins with the presentation of the foundations that account for the tensions experienced by the Liberal World Order based on the premises proposed by Haass (2018). Then identify and characterize the major global trends. Finally, it identifies the main regional trends: democratic recession, crisis of regionalisms and crisis of regional multilateral spaces, understanding that these are closely related to the global macro trend and the international trends.
