In 2011‚ Princeton professor G. John Ikenberry wrote that‚ despite what many critics had started to claim after the 2008 global financial crisis‚ “the liberal international order is alive and well.” The emergence of non-Western actors on the world scene was not a challenge to the current system but was‚ in fact‚ proof that the system worked.
