MULTILATERALISM, DEMOCRACY, CONCERT OF POWERS: RUSSIA’S RED LINES

Summary/Abstract: The debate for resettling the world is at its peak. Different states are proposing nuanced approaches and solutions that would enable a better grip on the global governance of their own interests. Concepts are relativized and revisionism is carefully hidden beneath respect for the international rules and commitments. As is the case with democracy, embraced by all international players and subject to numerous interpretations by several actors. Multilateralism does not seem to mean the same to different stakeholders and new initiatives are challenged from the positions of a raising fear to be let aside in the big debates about the future world. But the fact is that continuity will play a role, a sophisticated system holding all alternatives will be in place and privileging one or another form is just a matter of global choice, appeal and influence of a project or another, a model or the next. This multiple circles coexistence model could be challenge by the new initiatives and their influence, the number of participants and their geopolitical footprint at the global level.
