Накратко на български

Международният ред се изследва чрез влиянието на отделните лидери и техните политически убеждения. Това помага да се разбере как се създават световните правила и как те могат да се променят в бъдеще.

Microfoundations of International Order

"How do international orders emerge? How are they imagined, created, and maintained? What will be the future of the current international order? These and similar questions continue to be of interest to scholars, policymakers, and the public alike. The purpose of MICROFOUNDATIONS is to develop a better understanding of the creation of international orders by bringing the role of individuals and agency (microfoundations), which has been overlooked in the academic literature back into the debate about international order through an interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework. As a result of this project, the society in general can develop a better understanding of international order, how it is created, and how it might change/evolve in the coming decades. To achieve this purpose this project had two research objectives: RO1: to identify the microfoundations of international order in 20th century RO2: investigate what might emerge in the next decade as the Post-Cold War “unipolar moment” fades away. There are two main conclusions that emerged from the project. First, the emergence of new international orders are historical contingent events that are shaped by not only structural factors such as material power but also individual leaders at the helm of Great Powers. In order to understand the microfoundations of international order we need to understand a-) their international ideologies (their political and moral beliefs about international politics), b-) how distant or close they are to each other with regards to their international ideology, and c-) the intensity of their beliefs. This level of ideological polarization (high polarization to low polarization) tells us much about whether the emerging order will have more or less common values, principles, and institutions (thin or thick international society). Second, there is an increasing polarization in the current international system that suggests an ""thinning"" of post-Cold War liberal international order in the near future and a long term ""re-thickening"" of international society around values, principles, and institutions that particularistic (as opposed to current universalism of liberal order) and authoritarian (as opposed to liberal democratic aspirations of the current order).

Цел на проекта

This project aims to investigate the microfoundations of international order. How do international orders emerge? How are they imagined, created, and maintained? What will be the future of the current international order? These and other similar questions continue to be of interest for scholars of international relations (Bull 1977; Brooks and Wohlfort 2008; Ikenberry 2012; Kupchan 2012; Sorensen 2011; Dunne and Flockhart 2013; Zakaria 2008; Hurrell 2008; Schweller 2014; Miskimmon et.al. 2013). Most of this literature looks at the macro picture, dealing with structural factors such as distribution of power, differential economic development, changing patterns of interdependence, and demographics to explain why and how international orders came to be. However, the issue of microfoundations has been largely overlooked, if not totally ignored.My key argument is that international orders are envisioned and created by individuals, specifically by the leaders of major powers. ""Statesmen [sic], not states, are the primary actors in international affairs"" (Zakaria 1998:42). The resulting international order is the product of their international ideologies (political beliefs and moral values), conditioned and shaped by the distribution of power in the international system. Therefore, it is imperative to analyze those beliefs, values, and preferences and the way they interact with one another to ascertain how they lead to the emergence of particular international orders. This project investigates two historical cases of creating a new international order (in 1919 and in 1945, after the World Wars) as well as charts alternatives for the emerging international order in the coming decades. It uses a variety of methodologies from operational code analysis and automated text analysis to archival work. It benefits from and contributes to a variety of disciplines including international relations, political psychology, moral psychology, and international history.""
