Adam Tooze (FT) on the situation Europe finds itself in, in 2025:

'Of course, Trump is a vandal. But in tearing down the status quo he does no more than confirm the obvious — that the elite coalition that favoured US global leadership has lost its political grip. If Europe wants something it likes to call a “rules-based order”, it will have to make it for itself'!

For me the 'rules-based order' has been both good & bad, if we are to remake it we need to remake it better!

The Court of the Tangerine Tyrant is expecting to pull the US out of the World Health Organisation (for which it provides 16% of the budget) on day one of the 'new era'.

This is likely indicative of the Trump administration's view of the worth of global governance;

while critics of the various organisations might like to see them dismembered. any decline in global governance institutional capacity will do little to enhance any remaining global stability!

Where is home in times of polycrisis in an uncertain international order?

While authoritarian regimes, post-truth, disinformation, and climate emergency continue to rise, and the futures of the liberal international order and the nation-state concept are increasingly contested in global governance, Ursula Le Guin’s works suggest that 'home' is not a place but being true to one’s art and staying on the side of truth, instead of power.

"This article presents how global governance […] targets moved from sovereign to corporate entities and its source from multilateral financial institutions to domestic U.S. institutions. […] The article describes the recursive process that led the U.S. government to assume global regulatory powers and to initiate deglobalization in its trade war against the European Union and China."
