'A rupture, not a transition? Scenarios of change in the global ecological and rules-based order' with Prof Steven Bernstein
This talk makes the case for analysing international norms, practices, and their interaction to understand processes of change and continuity in global order. It identifies four scenarios of change, with illustrations from aspects of the global ecological, development, and rules-based order.
Description
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s stark pronouncement in Davos on the “rupture” of the rules-based order captured the sense of many that long-held international norms hold little sway and the practices of major powers are increasingly unpredictable. Yet, change in global order(s) is nothing new. Our current conceptual frameworks risk overstating contemporary change even as they may have missed more subtle, but still significant, changes in global order and governance over the last several decades.
