ROUNDTABLE: RISING POWERS AND THE
INTERNATIONAL ORDER
Introduction
G. John Ikenberry and Shiping
Tang
One of the great dramas of
world politics across the centuries has been
the rise and decline of leading
states. From ancient Athens
and Rome to
early modern Europe to the eras of Pax Britannica and
Pax Americana, international relations has been
marked by the emergence of
great powers
that seek to organize and dominate their surroundings. Over time,
the position
of these leading states weakens and new rising states emerge to
challenge the old order. These cycles of rise and decline
form the most celebrated and enduring narratives that scholars bring to the
study of world affairs. Today,
this drama
is playing out again. After seventy years at the top of the global
political and economic hierarchy, the United States is
finding its hold on leadership
weakening. In the meantime, a variety of non-Western
developing states—China first among them—are gaining ground and seeking to
influence global rules and
institutions. The global distribution of power is shifting and
the American-led international order forged in the twentieth century is in
transition.
This roundtable brings together
distinguished international scholars to reflect
on this grand power transition,
focusing on the ways that rising states may
be shaping and reshaping global
order. The essays take up four questions.
First, how do the various
rising powers view the current American-led,
Western-centric international
order? How do these states think about the
legitimacy and the welfare-improving potentials of the
current order? Second, how do rising states seek to reform or modify this
order, and what are the various
pathways of
change? Do rising states share a common critique of the existing
order and a
shared vision of change? Third, what is the future of the
current American-led international order? How stable and
resilient is it? Finally,
looking beyond the drama of rise and decline, what will
global governance look like
under the
evolving system? When the global order becomes “less American,”
will it also be less open and rule-based, or will it evolve in ways
that preserve these core features?
