Description
The current international system faces central challenges. The lack of an hegemonic power that imposes order and stability in the world, coupled with the enormous challenges faced by international institutions when dealing with critical situations—such as Covid-19 and its economic consequences—as well as growing nativist tendencies around the world, have created a growing need for innovative alternatives that can provide public international resources, such as global governance. This paper argues that regional, middle, and constructive powers can and should play a role not only in filling this power vacuum on a global level, but also in building and strengthening global governance in these times of multidimensional and systemic international crisis.
