Inhalt
There is evidence that many countries, namely democratic states, are increasingly skeptical towards multilateral structures of global or regional governance for the past few years. Occasionally, this resulted in withdrawal of some countries from important international institutions. This seems paradoxical because mainstream theory suggests that democracies in particular are more likely supporting multilateral cooperation than autocracies. Not least was the liberal world order mainly shaped by Western democracies after the end of the Second World War - and Western liberal democracies are also considered the major beneficiaries of multilateral institutions and forums for decades. However, some argue that the support for "global multilateralism" in many Western states - especially in liberal democracies – is at stake: The USA, for example, has adopted a much more skeptical position towards numerous international institutions in recent years (notably under the Trump administration) and turned from a strong proponent of multilateral cooperation to an advocate of bilateral agreements. The Brexit and other empirical cases show that this observation is by no means limited to the USA. This has an impact on global governance – and on the EU. In times of so-called 'polycrisis', however, such centrifugal tendencies in some countries may also foster closer cooperation and a revival of multilateralism in the rest. Thus, crisis could lead to catharsis.The seminar explores and analyses the role of multilateralism and international institutions in the global order and shall provide political science explanations of whether and why they are in crisis; and wether that fosters catharsis. Against this background, the impact on the EU shall be discussed. For this purpose, relevant political science theories will be elaborated to guide analyses and debates on concrete empirical case studies and global phenomena.
