The still young presidency of Donald Trump has caused much damage to the so-called 'liberal international order'. But Trump is the consequence, rather than the cause, of the crisis and decline of that order. That decline, Professor Acharya argues, has to do with the liberal order’s own internal limitations - aggravated by the global power shift and proliferation of transnational challenges - that a complacent liberal establishment had glossed over earlier. Recognizing the broader and multifaceted nature of those challenges is key to any hopes for building world order 2.0: a decentered and pluralistic Multiplex World, with its own challenges and opportunities. And this task requires Europe’s, especially the EU’s, voice and contribution, which has been ignored in the American debates on liberal order.
