“…Assessing that claim requires an agreed definition of the liberal order. For realists, the liberal order, like preceding international orders, is an expression of the interests of dominant powers, specifically the United States (Allison 2018;Mearsheimer 2019). For those who evaluate the LIO positively, a principal concern is not exploitation of the LIO by the United States but disengagement by the United States from an order that relies on the indispensable nation (Kagan 2018).…”

The labels 'crisis' and 'turning point' are used freely to describe international politics. In the decade since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, and even more frequently in the past four years, arguments that the world is not at a turning point have become difficult to find. The debates have often been confusing, however, suggesting both fundamental and sudden ruptures as well as recent recognition of long-term structural changes. Reflecting on a century that began with the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations and is closing with a pandemic and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, the effects of conflict, peacemaking, and economic turmoil on global order can certainly be identified. Long-term trends and trajectories, inflected by those episodes, have been equally influential: the dissolution of empires -from colonial to Soviet -and the proliferation of sovereign states; the integration of Europe and the rise of military and economic powers outside Europe; and a rapid growth in the institutions of regional and global governance.Arguments for a break in those trajectories in global governance can be summarized as the end of the Bretton Woods moment, that crucial reordering at the midpoint of the last century. Three distinct candidates can claim identification as this latest turning point: the end of the liberal international order; the end of the dominant position of the United States and its allies in the global order; and, finally, the relative decline of formal global institutions as constituents of contemporary global governance. Those three alleged transformations in the contemporary international order are linked, but they should 1This is an open access work distributed under the Creative Commons Attributio n-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Unported (https:// creativecommons .org/ licenses/ by -nc -nd/ 4 .0/ ).

“…1.Of course, the EU does not qualify, by conventional Weberian definitions, as a state (Jachtenfuchs 2007), but it does constitute itself as an actor in world politics and is generally understood as a ‘liberal order’ (Garton Ash 1998; Schimmelfennig 2001; Ferrera 2009; Magnette 2009). …”

A sympathetic critique of the literature on 'Normative Power Europe' that incorporates economic liberalism into the repertoire of the EU's constitutive principles.• The derivation of three ideal type liberal modes of justification for external action and a discussion of their potential complementarities and contradictions. • An application of the three modes to the case of EU external action.This article-a sympathetic critique of the literature on 'Normative Power Europe'-observes that the rationales for EU external action, while understandable in terms of the concept of 'normative power', emerge from a variety of overlapping and potentially contradictory liberal arguments. For the purposes of the argument, these liberalisms are organised into three ideal types: market liberalism, the pursuit of peace through liberal means and the ethic of cosmopolitan duty. The article suggests that while it is possible to associate different domains of EU external action with different varieties of liberal discourse, it is often more appropriate to see these policy domains as sites of struggle, negotiation and (perhaps) reconciliation between competing liberal projects.

“…An institution is needed that engages Oceania citizens in their regional polity, demonstrating the benefits of collective political action in tackling the challenges confronting the Pacific. Ensuring democratic values are embedded in the Oceania political order from the outset would produce a transparent, sustainable regional order (World Bank 1994;Iqbal and Jong-Li You 2001;Gradstein and Milanovic 2002;Dethier and Hafez Coli 1999;Garton-Ash 1998;Dettke 1994;Elman 2000).…”
