International order, unilateralism, multilateralism, global anomie, international legalityAbstract
The contribution examines the evolution of the international order, marked by the widening gap between global interdependence and political fragmentation, and analyzes the shift from U.S. hegemony to an imperial unilateral nationalism that heightens instability and weakens multilateralism. This shift produces anomic dynamics and greater uncertainty in conflict management. The text also highlights the implications for international legality. It further notes how these developments strengthen transnational criminal networks.
