Summary

A wave of crises for the international system, international law, and the world economy began in 2016. The rise of national populism in many parts of the world, a political force openly opposed to international law and regulation, directly challenged the projects of the 1990s. The rise of revisionist states invoking nationalist identity, especially China and Russia, produced new international tensions and challenges. Online life evolved in an increasingly dystopian direction. These three developments reinforced each other. The global pandemic made everything even worse.
