Multilateralism has not only been in crisis since the Russian war of aggression. The growing depth of intervention and expanded membership of multilateral institutions in recent years have been accompanied by their declining acceptance in the international community. Transnational problems, such as global warming, however, require international cooperation and agreement. The report proposes that multilateralism be viewed in the future as a framework order. This means negotiating functional arrangements at the global level in order to remain capable of action without being blocked by normative differences. More far-reaching arrangements should be shifted to the regional level in cooperation with states of similar values and interests. The authors concretize this proposal with four examples: the UN peace missions, the International Criminal Court, the OSCE, and the climate conferences.
The report is a cooperative project of researchers of the HSFK program area "International Institutions". The authors are Ben Christian, Melanie Coni-Zimmer, Nicole Deitelhoff, Matthias Dembinski, Stefan Kroll, Max Lesch und Dirk Peters.
