Multilateralism has served as a foundation for international
cooperation over the past several decades. Championed after the
Second World War by the United States and Western Europe, it
expanded into a broader global system of governance with the end of
the Cold War. Lately, an increasing number of States appear to be
disappointed with the existing multilateral arrangements, both at
the level of norms and that of institutions. The great powers see
unilateral and bilateral strategies, which maximize their political
leverage rather than diluting it in multilateral fora, as more
effective ways for controlling the course of international affairs.
The signs of the crisis have been visible for some time - but
recent crises indicate an acceleration of the on-going
disintegration of the multilateral system, such as Brexit, growing
resistance on the part of States to international monitoring of
compliance and the radical change in the US foreign policy during
the presidency of Donald Trump which saw the US withdraw from
several multilateral agreements (e.g. the Iran Nuclear Deal and the
Paris Agreement), leave some international organizations or bodies
(e.g. the United Nations Human Rights Council or the World Health
Organization) or paralyze some others (e.g. the World Trade
Organization (WTO)). Tackling the debate surrounding the crisis of
multilateralism and the related transformation of the underlying
international legal order, The Crisis of Multilateral Legal Order
analyzes selected aspects of the current crisis from the
perspective of public international law to identify the nature of
the crisis, its dynamics, and implications.
