Liberal Order in a Turbulent Era

In light of mounting domestic troubles and increasingly hardened authoritarian regimes, this book explores the weakening of the liberal order in recent decades. Contributing authors analyze the threats and solutions to liberal-pluralist democracies from both outside and within, and discuss the interactions between these forces.Presenting global case studies including the Iran–US–Israel conflict and the US–Denmark–Greenland conundrum, chapters examine the causes, dynamics, and responses to the crises facing the liberal international order and democratic governance. They approach these through theoretical discussions, addressing topics such as erosion of freedom, climate change, and populist challenges. Supplemented by questions to aid comprehension and encourage debate, The Liberal Order in a Turbulent Era advocates for the preservation and improvement of democratic ideals and suggests potential scenarios and opportunities for revitalization. The key concepts explored in this book will benefit researchers and students in comparative and international politics, international relations, political science, human rights law, and global studies. Policymakers will also benefit from its astute insights into the Liberal International Order.
