It was a knockout blow. Not just to Democrats, but to the post- war liberal international consensus America built. As John Ruggie says, it served Europe well: NATOs protective blanket solved Franco-German security, allowing the EU to be born and the German economic miracles era of growth and prosperity. In a world of respect for individual rights and a rules-based international law system, oiled by commerce, the Soviet Union collapsed, an International Criminal Court was founded and NATO went to war to save Muslims. Brick by brick, that world is crumbling. Nuclear non-proliferation is at break-out point, not least because of Americas strategic embrace of Indian nuclear weapons. After Doha, the WTO falls into slow disuse. With Europe obstinately ignoring its relative decline, the IMF loses its legitimacy. Reforming the UN seems impossible: the jigsaw pieces of a new Security Council are back in their box. The one reform completed, the Human Rights Council, is a shambles. Yet if anyone can do human rights, its the UN; and if the UN can do anything, its human rights. Who can strengthen global governance ? Dont look to America, whoever its next president. As befits a giant, it does not want to be tied down by others rules. Although youve heard the bell ring 100 times: time for Europe. We are playing a bigger role in the world: answering Lebanons call may yet be a historical turning point. So might the EUs biggest mission ever, taking over from NATO in Kosovo. Perhaps Sarkozy can help untangle Europes suspicions of globalisation. If the WTO is to recover, it will be Europe that makes key concessions. If the IMF is to regain relevance, it will be when Europe sits there as a single unit. As for the UN, the seeds are there in Americas embrace of India, the worlds biggest democracy. That should count for something. Perhaps it is a world democracy bloc, within or without the UN, on which a better world order can be based. Where, after all, is respect for individual rights in China, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan ? To say those not with us are against us is Wild West bravado; but those not with us are not with us. There are certain basic criteria that should be met before the benefits of trade and security flow. As the faulty status quo around us continues to decay, more radical thinking is needed.
