The former US national security adviser, John Bolton, once said: "There is no United Nations. There is an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world – that is, the US."

When the West, led by the United States, wanted to make sure that World Wars I and II would not happen again, it helped create countless international organisations to maintain a US-led global order (NATO, WTO, WHO, UN, IEA, OECD, etc).

But this order is showing its age. It faces challenges within, increasing numbers of citizens in the West are turning their back on globalism, and taking out their frustrations on "the other" and people in the Global South argue that the old global order does not reflect the geopolitical realities of 2020.

So is the world heading to a state of "Westlessness" where the West no longer desires to maintain the old order? And if so, what happens to the notion of international law and institutions? Do smaller countries have to fend for themselves?

Join Steve Clemons and his panel of experts as they discuss the repercussions of "Westlessness".

Guests:

Danielle Pletka - senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute

Ian Bremmer - president of Eurasia Group

Wolfgang Ischinger - chairman of the Munich Security Conference

Westerners are unable to grasp the fact that westerners can not longer feed off the fat of their colonisation and exploitation of others.

Yeah The West has the DNA of justice. That is why the likes of Tony Blair are rotting in prison. And why Julian Assange is free, and those behind the crimes he exposed in jail.  What a joke!

The problem is all these Coincidence theorists encouraging us to ignore the obvious facts. The elite have waged war on the working class, globally.

The US uphold international law and order only when it served its interests.
If all of these no longer serve the US’s interest, the US will tear it down.

The world problems got nothing to do with being western or eastern or others. It has to do with countries trying to impose their ways on others. If every countries just mind their own business, this will be a much better world.

You got a fool on top. You think we want you to rule over us with a con man on top. We did not expelled you. You leftf by yourself by the actions of your own. That is how Europe and the rest of the world thinks about it.

When I see Danielle out again, I keep thinking about the run-up to the Irag war - how she relentlessly beat the drums for  war and for invading Iraq, with a pack of lies about WMDs .

Nobody "has all the answers".  I don't care who you are. Once you think you know everything, you stop learning.  Once you stop learning, you quickly become irrelevant.

I think it’s good that other nations aren’t willing to throw away their cultures. Western Culture isn’t the end all be all. It has some issues just like any other culture.

Brilliant idea
Isolate the west from the rest of the world!
No more access to raw materials for them
No more access to their markets for the world.

What could possibly go wrong ?

"the west" = primitive divisive notion/concept...especially in 2020...nonetheless the descriptor gets continually used...even by socalled academics..
