How to sustain an international system of cooperation in the midst
of geopolitical struggle Can the international economic and legal
system survive today's fractured geopolitics? Democracies are
facing a drawn-out contest with authoritarian states that is
entangling much of public policy with global security issues. In
Global Discord, Paul Tucker lays out principles for a sustainable
system of international cooperation, showing how democracies can
deal with China and other illiberal states without sacrificing
their deepest political values. Drawing on three decades as a
central banker and regulator, Tucker applies these principles to
the international monetary order, including the role of the U.S.
dollar, trade and investment regimes, and the financial system.
Combining history, economics, and political and legal philosophy,
Tucker offers a new account of international relations. Rejecting
intellectual traditions that go back to Hobbes, Kant, and Grotius,
and deploying instead ideas from David Hume, Bernard Williams, and
modern mechanism-design economists, Tucker describes a new kind of
political realism that emphasizes power and interests without
sidelining morality. Incentives must be aligned with values if
institutions are to endure. The connecting tissue for a system of
international cooperation, he writes, should be legitimacy,
creating a world of concentric circles in which we cooperate more
with those with whom we share the most and whom we fear the least.
