World order in crisis mode as G20 meets. Insecurity and unrest are spreading across the world.
This is not just since Donald Trump's rise to the United States presidency, but also since long-accepted certainties have strongly been called into question. It is good that there are forums where sovereign states and their executive leadership can informally share information - although in this case, "informal" means that no binding agreements will be made. The G20 is one such forum. Since December 1 of last year, Germany has held the presidency and will be leading this forum through a series of ministerial conferences until the summit meeting, which will take place in July in Hamburg. The meeting of G20 foreign ministers on Thursday and Friday in Bonn will give the process some noticeable momentum. Key issue: Africa. President Trump and the new world order. World Order 2.0.

Haass, President, Council on Foreign Relations January 24, 2017 Project Syndicate For nearly four centuries, since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 ended the Thirty Years’ War in Europe, the concept of sovereignty – the right of countries to an independent existence and autonomy – has formed the core of the international order. And for good reason: as we have seen in century after century, including the current one, a world in which borders are forcibly violated is a world of instability and conflict.
But, in a globalized world, a global operating system premised solely on respect for sovereignty – call it World Order 1.0 – has become increasingly inadequate. Little stays local anymore. A new international order will also require an expanded set of norms and arrangements, beginning with an agreed-upon basis for statehood. L’ordre mondial de demain. L’annus horribilis 2016 est désormais derrière nous.
Les événements malheureux de l’année qui vient de s’achever – vote de sortie du Royaume-Uni hors de l’Union européenne, élection de Donald Trump à la présidence des États-Unis, persistance des atrocités en Syrie – n’ont cependant été que les symptômes d’un processus de dissolution du système mondial libéral fondé sur des règles, entamé longtemps auparavant. Malheureusement, ces symptômes accélèrent aujourd’hui le déclin du système. Enrico Letta sur France5 pour débattre du nouvel ordre mondial. Xi, improbable gardien de l'ordre mondial. Au Forum de Davos, le président chinois s'est présenté en contre-modèle de Donald Trump, garant du libre-échange, champion de la protection de l'environnement et acteur clé de la stabilité du monde.
Correspondant à PékinL'élection de Donald Trump a offert à la Chine une opportunité inespérée de faire endosser à son empereur rouge le costume du leader planétaire responsable. Alors que le milliardaire américain multiplie les déclarations protectionnistes ou belliqueuses et se moque du réchauffement climatique, Xi Jinping a profité de la tribune du Forum économique de Davos pour jouer cette semaine la partition du contre-modèle absolu au bouillonnant milliardaire. Sans jamais citer le futur occupant de la Maison-Blanche, le dirigeant communiste, brouillant les schémas habituels, s'est ainsi dépeint en anti-Trump et improbable gardien ...

Trump and World Order. Since the administration of Franklin Roosevelt, 13 successive U.S. presidents have agreed that the United States must assume the mantle of global leadership.
Although foreign policy varied from president to president, all sent the clear message that the country stood for more than just its own well-being and that the world economy was not a zero-sum game. That is about to change. U.S. President Donald Trump has promised a foreign policy that is nationalist and transactional, focused on securing narrow material gains for the United States. He has enunciated no broader vision of the United States’ traditional role as defender of the free world, much less outlined how the country might play that part. That order was fraying well before November 8. Some countries will resist this new course, joining alliances intended to oppose U.S. influence or thwarting U.S. aims within international institutions.
