Healing the World: Can Multilateralism Survive in a Nation-First Era?

Healing Geopolitics: Rethinking Multilateralism, Plurilateralism and Nationalism

In the third decade of the 21st century, we find ourselves at a pivotal geopolitical moment reminiscent of 1945, where the architecture of global governance stands at a crossroads. The original architects of multilateralism, who shaped the post-War order, have lost both momentum and interest in the multilateral project, underscoring the urgent need for a reformed global framework. The existing multilateral order also finds itself unable to respond effectively and decisively to dynamic threats like conflicts and climate change. These limitations have given rise to minilateral and plurilateral groups driven less by abstract ideals and more by interest-based alignments. Such a trend indicates the locus of power shifting away from collective supranational frameworks towards more localised governance models, thereby challenging the efficacy and relevance of existing multilateral institutions.

Can alignments based on specific interests and issues, rather than a more enduring worldview, serve as a sustainable foundation for global governance?
Is belief in sovereignty and the nation-state making a resurgence after decades during which supranational organisations and alliances fostered prosperity and security? If so, what are the underlying reasons for this shift?
Is there a way multilateral institutions can ensure their effectiveness and make a case for their continued relevance?
