Synopsis

The End of the Global Order's Innocence

The world you once knew was a historical exception.

For thirty years, we believed globalization was irreversible. That trade guaranteed peace. That the U.S. dollar was untouchable. That the rules of the liberal order would endure forever.

That world is over.

Today, supply chains are weapons. Technology is a battlefield. The United States and China are locked in a struggle for 21st-century supremacy. Economic blocs are re-emerging. Major powers no longer speak of efficiency — they speak of security.

In The End of the Global Order's Innocence, the uncomfortable truth is laid bare: the system that promised stability is not collapsing because of an external enemy. It is transforming because its own rules created vulnerability and strategic rivalry.

This is not a temporary crisis. It is a historic transition.

The liberal order is not dead.

But it is no longer inevitable.

The world ahead will be more fragmented, more competitive, and more unpredictable.

The question is no longer whether change is coming.

The question is whether we are prepared to live in it.
