    Critical summary of the article by richard hass, published in foreign affairs

    Magazine --- “How world order ends”

    1. Introductory Words:
    A stable world order is a rare thing in world history, however when
    one tends to arise it is after a great convulsion when we see a strong
    desire and the condition for something new and durable.
    Three things are needed to govern the conduct of international relations.
     Broad acceptance of the rules of global governance.
     Statecraft skills.
     Creative Diplomacy.
    2. Factors eroding a world order:
     Distributed balance of power.
     Institutions fail to adapt to new condition.
     Movers and shapers make mistakes.
     World orders tends to end with ‘wimper’(gradually decline with pain)
    rather than a ‘bang’.
    3. Parallels to todays world order
     Thucydides trap
     WW1 when germany and japan expanded by attacking poland manchurian
    Island and USA ,Europe kept quite.
     Concert of europe and vienna congress 19th century
    -Joint hegemony to control affairs in a multipolar world.

    4. What ails the order?

     Rise and fall of major powers


     Statescraft, technology, new politics can work together to cause change in an order.
     Shifts in Economy, Military Balance.

     Liberal order USA , Western Europe,Brettonwood
     Communists Led by USSR
     Both the orders Rave deteriorated at present --- however nuclear detterence still holds.

    Existing order:
    Ukraine ,Syria, US 2016 elections cyber warfare, Iraq war 2003, 2016 Libya,
    Regime change 2000-08.

     North Korea , Iran ------ reject one important aspect of the order.
     Non State Actors.
     Polulism, Nationalism.
     US, behaviour as nationalist state poses serious threats to effective
    States craft.
    6. What lies a head?
     Resurrection of the old order will be imposssible.
     USA and the future world order.
    USA to support NPT---- Global zero non – discriminatory behavior.
    Offer support countries fighting terrorism especially in Asia
    Strengthen its alliance in europe
     Multilateralism by USA
     WTO’s role.
     Chinese-led order is expected to be illeberal.

     Break down in China -US relations or Russia – US clash nonr should materialize.
     Conflagration in the ME
     Cumulative effective of climate change.
     GOOD NEWS: The good news is it is far from inevitable world will arrive at a
    catastrophe
     BAD NEWS: Far from certain that it will not.
