Abstract

The way the international system is run constitutes another kind of governance. There are international agreements, international organizations, international institutions, international norms of behaviour. How such organizations run themselves and how they interact to effect international policy is governance. But this kind of governance is also in crisis. A rules-based international relations system sets out to govern relations between nations based on agreements and rules, through international institutions such as the UN as against a naked power perspective. The current crisis in international governance is about some states moving away from the rules-based system of international relations towards traditional and charismatic authority and, seemingly inevitably, towards autocracy. International law and international institutions are under threat from authoritarian regimes.
