global order
International power structure
Global order refers to the arrangement of power, rules, and institutions that govern relations among nations.
It encompasses international law, economic systems, diplomatic norms, and the balance of military power: The post–World War II global order centered on American hegemony and institutions like the UN.
Discussions of global order often concern its stability or disruption: Rising powers are challenging the existing global order.
