If Donald Trump represents the backlash against the liberalrules-based order, then we may now be seeing the backlash to the backlash. In a recent speech, the Spanish prime minister, Pedro S\u00e1nchez, spoke of just that. \u201cThey scream and shout not because they are winning, but because they know their time is running out,\u201d he said, of those seeking to undermine international law and normalise the use of force. While the Trump administration and its allies seek to remake the world in their view, alternative visions of the international order are finally beginning to take shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, in his now famous Davos speech in January, laid bare the vulnerabilities of what he described as a world in \u201crupture\u201d. Middle powers must act together, he argued, because \u201cif we\u2019re not at the table, we\u2019re on the menu\u201d. The way forward is not to abandon globalisation altogether but to remake it: preserving openness while upholding a rules-based order and avoiding over-reliance on a single country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
