  11. “The metaphors we use deliver us hope, or they foreclose possibility”*…

    Ingram Pinn

    It feels only too clear that the global order that defined geopolitics, geoeconomics, and life in the world’s constituent parts is changing fundamentally. But what lies on the other side of this change? It’s a sucker’s bet to try to predict that outcome with any precision; there’s just too much fundamental uncertainty. As Antonio Gramsci said (of another era, though he might have been describing ours): “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”

    Still, it’s important that we try. It’s only by wrestling with what’s going on to determine what’s possible, then what’s desirable, that we can shape a future in which we want to live.

    The models and metaphors that we use are key to that wrestling. Our natural inclinations seem to tend in one of two directions. Either we tweak the models we have to try to accomodate the change that we see… which seems to work until (given that the change just keeps on coming) it doesn’t. Or we flip to the opposite– we imaging that everything simply falls apart. In geopolitical/geoeconomic terms, we assume that we get an incrementally-revised version of the world order that we’ve known; or we imagine dissolution (into what tends to be called a “multi-polar” world)… neither of which imagines materially different world orders that, as hard as they are to describe, are entirely plausible. Part of our problem in visualizing those new orders is our lack of models and metaphors for them…

    The two pieces featured here posit frameworks and metaphors that, while they may or may not prove to be “accurate” in any comprehensive way, can help us open our thinking, and model the ways in which fresh metaphors can help us see problems anew and find new solutions.

    First a piece from Trine Flockhart, from the Global (Dis)Order International Policy Programme of the British Academy and The Carnegoe Endowment for International Peace, part of a recent book)…

    Is global order a thing of the past? Is the liberal international order fraying and what is
    happening to previously stable alliances and cooperative relationships such as the
    transatlantic relationship or the relationship between the United States and Canada? Not
    such a long time ago, these questions would have been regarded as alarmist, but today the
    prospect of large-scale order transformation is part and parcel of daily debates. This rupture
    is probably as important as the transformation that followed the end of the Second World War,
    and together with the simultaneous transformations in technology and science, the impact
    on people and societies may well be on par with the Industrial Revolution. As Gramsci wrote
    from his prison cell, we live ‘in times of monsters’ where ‘the old world is dying and the new one
    struggles to be born’(Gramsci & Buttigieg 1992). In these circumstances, we see the political
    consequences in populist parties as voters seek certainty in an uncertain and turbulent world,
    whilst policymakers struggle to find their feet in the emerging world and seek to manage the
    fallout from the ending of the old world.


    To ensure that the policy decisions of today are relevant for the geopolitical reality of tomorrow,
    policymakers must have a clear sense about the likely outcome of the ongoing transformation
    – in other words what kind of global order will be in place and what kind of relationships can
    be expected within it? These are big and complex questions that have no easy answers, yet
    many scholars and policy practitioners seem to already have their answer – the world will be
    multipolar (Ashford 2023; Bekkevold 2023; Borrell 2021). At least anecdotally, it seems there
    is widespread agreement that the international system is transforming from a unipolar system
    anchored in American hegemony, to a multipolar system reflecting the shift of power to a larger
    number of states. However, although the idea that the international system will be multipolar
    is persuasive, and although the use of analytical concepts such as polarity can be useful for
    gaining an overview of complex matters, we must be aware that polarity as a concept rests on
    a specific form of analysis that tends to emphasize states, sameness, power and interest, and
    which is only partially sighted when it comes to values, identities, lesser powers and complexity.
    I worry that the focus on multipolarity, means that policymakers are trying to understand the
    current order transformation through conceptual lenses that are blurred and not very relevant.


    This article presents a different position. It starts from the counterintuitive position that
    it is logically implausible for the global ordering architecture to return to an international
    system that was in place a century ago. Those suggesting that we are currently witnessing
    a return to multipolarity emphasise shifts in the global distribution of power and the rising
    number of powerful states, most notably China. These are certainly important changes, but
    The arrival of the multi-order world and its geopolitical implications
    other important changes are overlooked, which suggest a fundamentally different global
    ordering architecture is in the making. Continuing to portray the world as multipolar belies the
    complexity, significance, and extent of many other important changes. This paper presents an
    alternative interpretation of the ongoing global order transformation, demonstrating why it will
    be neither bipolar nor multipolar but rather multi-order.


    A multi-order world is a global ordering architecture consisting of several international orders.
    Gramsci was right that order transformations take time, so the multi-order architecture is still
    in development, but can be glimpsed through the existence of three independent international
    orders already clearly visible within the global ordering architecture – the American-led liberal
    international order (albeit that American leadership under Trump is currently in question),
    the Russian-led Eurasian order, and the Chinese-led Belt and Road order.1 Other orders and
    other forms of relationships of importance are also in the making suggesting a more complex
    architecture than a multipolar one. The paper does not claim to present a full picture of the
    emerging ordering architecture but seeks merely to demonstrate the importance of embracing
    new thinking to contemplate the possibility of an entirely new form of international system
    in which multiple international orders with very different dynamics and different behavioural
    patterns make up the global ordering architecture. The perspective brings into light important
    relationships and dynamics that are not readily apparent in the multipolar perspective –
    especially that relationships within orders are just as important as relations between different
    international orders, and it leaves room for considering other aspects than powershifts and for
    acknowledging the importance of other actors than just a handful of “pole states”. I argue that
    awareness of the subtle differences between the multi-order architecture and more traditional
    polarity-based understandings is an essential first step towards timely strategic policymaking
    fit for the multi-order world.


    The paper proceeds in four moves. First, I outline three significant events over the past four
    years which only partially fit the polarity-based narrative. Second, I outline the multi-order
    perspective by focusing on order as a condition, a social domain, and as practices of ordering.
    Thirdly, I show how changes in three characteristics of the global system indicate a multi-order
    world rather than a multipolar one. Finally, I briefly consider some of the broader geopolitical
    implications of a multi-order world and demonstrate the importance of ordering dynamics
    within and between international orders. The picture that emerges challenges some of the
    most foundational assumptions about international relations and global order including the
    prospect of achieving convergence around common rules in multilateral governance to meet
    shared challenges…

    – “The arrival of the multi-order world and its geopolitical implications

    The second, by Jessica Burbank, takes a different– and in some ways, more provocative– tack…

    … A new world order is here. States (countries) are no longer the highest form of power globally. Power has shifted to wealthy individuals who work in groups and operate across borders: syndicates of capital.

    Syndicates of capital cannot be categorized as legal or illegal. They exist primarily in the extralegal sphere, where either no regulations apply to their behavior or, where laws do exist, there is no entity powerful enough to enforce them in a manner that asserts control over the syndicates’ behavior.

    In many occasions, capital is both the power source for syndicates, and the shared goal. Wealthy individuals form syndicates if their strategic objectives align. Those objectives typically revolve around securing new capital flows and preserving existing ones. Syndicates’ power is vast but fragile. If all members of a syndicate were cut off from accessing capital and the resources they control, they would lose their power.

    Author’s Note: ​​Sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theorists, but I am not speaking of secret societies, the illuminati, or a cabal. Syndicates of capital do not hide their power, nor do they operate in secret. Their multi-billion dollar deals and contracts are publicly disclosed. They are also not united in ethnic background, religious, or political beliefs.

    It is not enough to say: ‘democracies are being replaced with oligarchies because wealthy individuals have too much power in society.’ That may be true, but is not the full picture. Oligarchies are states run by a small group of wealthy individuals. That may accurately describe the politics of one nation, but it does not suffice to describe how power is organized on a global scale.

    ‘Global oligarchy’ also falls short of describing how power is organized in our world, because there is not one small group of wealthy individuals, there are many, and they compete. Still, the identification of oligarchs is useful for global political analysis because many of the oligarchs within a state also operate globally as leaders or members ofsyndicates of capital.

    The new world order emerged before it could be identified. Platitudes like: “our world has gone crazy,” served as an emotional crutch, and an implicit acknowledgement that we lack a sound analysis of contemporary global power. What has felt like an ineffable force, an inexplicable undercurrent of darkness, is the ambiance of global dominion by syndicates of capital.

    Though abstract, examining how global power is organized is essential to understanding the world we live in. Developing a coherent framework for evaluating global affairs allows us to more effortlessly make sense of current events. You’ll be surprised how quickly things click and how easily your mind makes connections when you absorb the news with a conception of syndicates of capital…

    – “Syndicates of Capital

    Both are eminently worth reading in full: whether or not one buys all– or any– of either set of conclusions, the mental calisthenics are the point…

    As we muse on metaphors, we might recall that it was on this date in 1279 that Mongol forces led by Kublai Khan were victorious at the Battle of Yamen— ending the Song dynasty in China. Kublai has already conquered parts of northern and southern China, and had declared the Yuan dynasty (with himself as the emperor “Great Yuan”). With the fall of the Song, the Mongols ruled all of continental East Asia under Han-style Yuan rule, which was a division of the Mongol Empire.

    OMG! A wild ride… “Based off the newest tranche of emails and texts released by the Justice Department this weekend, Epstein, at the very least, believed that he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order in the 2010s. In June 2016, he emailed venture capitalist, early Facebook investor, and Palantir founder Peter Thiel, writing, “Brexit, just the beginning.” He then laid out the most succinct mission statement we currently have for what Epstein was trying to accomplish. “Return to tribalism,” he wrote. “Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances. You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as I said in your office. Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.” 😮

    Read that again: “Epstein… believed… he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order”.😐

    Been wondering ever since I read that terse email “Brexit, just the beginning” implying that #Epstein & #Thiel think they caused it. Now this rationale. ☝️

    Can this really be so? Or is this #billionaires delusion? How could we know, how could we test for the truth of this hypothesis?🤔
