Abstract

Globalization and liberal internationalism are two respective concepts that are often connected as globalization largely results from the liberal international order. The liberal international order, which is concurrently the product of globalization, and its continuation is now being challenged by several factors. Historically, the development of international order has mostly been associated with trade across the world, and post-World War II there has been a revision of the approach to stimulate liberalization. Many scholars have debated the decline of the liberal order. Looking ahead, the future of this international order will probably be shaped by the continuous processes of globalization and the reactions to trends of deglobalization. Hence, the paper aims to investigate the current state of globalization and how it affects the liberal international system. Globalization, which once supported liberal ideals, has revealed weaknesses by encouraging trends like protectionism, nationalism, and the rise of alternative groups like BRICS. These changes indicate a move away from the core values of cooperation and openness that have defined liberal order. To explore these dynamics, the study used a qualitative research approach, including a comprehensive literature review, to identify gaps and better understand the evolving challenges. The study emphasizes the urgent need for reforms to make the liberal order more effective in addressing contemporary global challenges.
