China, India & Asia are currently gaining economic & political power in the world, causing many analysts to speculate how this will affect international relations, the global distribution of power, & human security. Concepts in international relations have generally been dominated by Western countries' "Westphalian" principles. This article suggests that the rise of Asia will bring a new set of alternative "Eastphalian" ideas to the table, which would reinvigorate the sovereignty of states & non-intervention in the domestic affairs of other countries, as the 1648 treaty of Wesphalia outlined. This "Eastphalian" trend is in direct opposition to the hegemonic liberal transnational governance that emphasizes borderless application of principles such as capitalism, democracy, & human rights. Unless managed appropriately, this emphasis on sovereignty & non-intervention could make management of global problems such as climate change & environmental degradation more difficult than they already are. Additionally, Westphalian principles in their initial iteration led to large scale conflict & economic imperialism, so the "Eastphalian" block will have to modify those principles in order to maintain security in an increasingly multipolar world.
