Liberal Order in a Post-Western World

This report represents the collective efforts of the sixth group of Transatlantic Academy fellows. The report examines ten specific issue areas, outlining the perspectives of the West and of select emerging powers. The subjects covered are: global economic governance; transatlantic economic relations; foreign development assistance; cybersecurity and Internet governance; Brazil and liberal order; India and liberal order; South Africa, Nigeria, and liberal order; China and liberal order; the potential for security cooperation between China and the Western democracies in the greater Middle East; and multilateralism and partnerships. Each chapter identifies areas of convergence and divergence among Western countries and emerging states and maps out the prospects for building common ground.
