AbstractThe liberal international order is being challenged today by populism and unilateralism. Though it has been resilient in the past, the current challenges from within the order are unprecedented. Without being too pessimistic, I expect the LIO will survive but retract to its original core states in North America, Europe, and Northeast Asia, shedding some of its universal pretensions. States that remain within the liberal order, in turn, will compete with an alternative Chinese-led international hierarchy built around all or part of the current Belt and Road Initiative countries. While international institutions can facilitate cooperation, they do not bridge this emerging divide sufficiently to forestall conflict and, in any event, will not be sufficiently robust to prevent a new cold war. As part of the roundtable "International Institutions and Peaceful Change," this brief essay sketches this argument and concludes with some possible ways of moderating future conflicts.

"This book delivers a central and dynamic interpretation of the imperative philosophy of international criminal justice and how it struggles to defend the body of international human rights law. Understanding the fundamental philosophies of both legal disciplines reassures the promotion of the virtue of their norms. This work examines these basic philosophies by analysing them through the lens of the new terms: visible power and invisible essence. The former term addresses jus major provisions, while the latter reveals the substantive essence of the existence of the ethical virtues of both legal disciplines as subjects of unity. The invisible reasoning contains genuine imperative moral law and attempts to strengthen its visible framework by preventing autocratic law. The invisible platform of the system of international criminal justice should always remain imperative and it should not be compromised through new, domineering interpretations. The ethics of the procedures of the system of international criminal courts should not rest on the interpretation of visible provisions promoted through authoritarian impulsive rules, rather they should be based on whether or not the invisible pure "jus imperative" legal justice has been given sufficient weight in the judgements of courts. The coherent scale of the invisible moral essence should not be shattered by incoherent visible morality. Reading about these novel values with the new terms: criminalvisibilism and criminalinvisibilism, as coined by the author, is a must"--

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYContext: The March 24, 2013, seizing of power by a coalition of rebels (Séléka) triggered a political and security crisis that resulted in a sharp contraction of economic activity, budgetary pressures, widespread destruction of administrative and economic infrastructures, a paralysis of the public administration, intercommunity conflicts, and a major humanitarian crisis. The new transitional government in place since the beginning of 2014 is facing significant challenges, including restoring security, reviving economic activity, and rebuilding the democratic process. As

The paper analyses the general features of the ongoing debate within the
feminist approach to the International Relations studies with the aim to
discover whether its proponents continue to tear down the traditional norms
of this academic discipline at the beginning of the 21st century, to give
innovative insights, and to illuminate the power structure hidden in the
so-called ?mainstream? IR theories. The paper discusses the most important
feminist research questions and topics of the day, the basic feminist
argumentation and its genesis, and stresses internal disagreements and
criticism towards some theoretical standpoints within the feminist branch of
the International Relations discipline. The analysis focuses on research
articles and books published in the period 2001-2016 and primarily in the
United States and the United Kingdom - the countries where feminist academia
is fairly developed in the discipline of International Relations. The author
concludes that despite the influence strengthened by the increased number of
published research papers, books, and collections of papers in the early 21st
century, the proponents of feminist IR theories continue to struggle for
their ?place under the Sun? within the mainstream of the International
Relations academic community. The epistemological contribution of feminist
theories to the International Relations discipline is best seen in regard to
their dissident innovations, which ?soften? the traditionally rigid framework
of mainstream theory by expanding the list of legitimate research topics and
introducing postpositive methodological approaches and techniques.
