Description

The search for order has long challenged diplomats and statesmen. Today’s liberal international economic and political order has evolved out of a century of conflict, revolution, and war into a pattern of interest-based cooperation among the world’s great powers. The international system, however, is not a self-regulating mechanism; maintenance of order, once established, requires the active and full participation of major powers with high stakes in the effective functioning of the system.
