.... Adopting this logic, the fading global liberal order (GLO) may be defined similarly; it is neither global, nor liberal, nor orderly. The GLO is not global, as it protects the interests of the few by assisting in the rise of a hegemony and unipolar world order.

... position of a narrow group of states, will be reduced to a minimum.
In these conditions, the international community and especially its leading states are constantly faced with the problem of choosing between two forms of interaction with the outgoing world order: destruction and creation. Both of these forms are in dialectical interaction with each other and it would be strange to think that there is an opportunity to pave a clear and simple path to a new, more just global order.
