Bretton Woods under attack: changes in international economic governance in times of contested multilateralism Other Languages

Abstract:
The West, and especially the United States dominance in the international system is changing in this century. The institutional order forged at the end of World War II weakened, and the major international economic organizations, such as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund do not demonstrate to adapt satisfactorily to these transformations. In the dispute over who will be and who will dictate the new rules of the game, dissatisfied states organize forums and coalitions of contestation. This article relies on the concept of contested multilateralism to describe the international scenario emerging from these disputes, an environment in which states frustrated with the agenda or governance structure of existing multilateralism choose to question it multilaterally, instead of relying on unilateral or bilateral approaches. It is also argued that, although nationalist movements have recently emerged in the United States and European states, they should not reverse the strength of the new multilateral articulations that developing and emerging countries have been built on the current contending fronts.
