Crisis of Multilateralism? Peace politics in the age of authoritarianism, nationalism and populism

security policy to the test. In a world marked by nationalism and authoritarianism, international
institutions and rules agreed upon by countries are shunned, at best only being held to apply to
other states. If institutions of the liberal world order have offered at least a modicum of
predictability and reliability, the emerging order of antagonistic nationalisms heralds an epoch of
volatile complexity.
