Instrumentalization of International Institutions in the Establishment of a New World Order

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this paper is the instrumentalization of international institutions in the establishment of a new world order. The authors try to answer the questions about the model, the significance and the contribution of the instrumentalization of international institutions to the establishment of a new world order. New world order is defined as a project of the United States’ hegemony, based on “universal” values. International institutions are defined as a broader concept than international organizations are, but narrower than international law and regimes. After this, recent practice of instrumentalization of the international institutions by the creators of a new world order is dealt with, using the examples from four groups of institutions: security, political, economic and the others. Offensive realist John J. Mearsheimer’s theory of institutions is used as theoretical framework. The authors conclude that the instrumentalization of institutions was largely successful and gave certain contributions to the establishment of a new world order in the nineties of the last century. In the 21st century this instrumentalization is mostly unsuccessful, and this inflicts some damage to a new world order. However, the cause of the success/failure of the instrumentalization mostly lies outside of institutional framework – in Russia’s submission to the West before, and its more assertive foreign policy later.
