The Unraveling of the American Global Order

by Alexander Cooley, Daniel Nexon ...

We live in a period of great uncertainty about the fate of America's global leadership. Many believe that Donald Trump's presidency marks the end of liberal international order-the very system of global institutions, rules, and values that shaped the American international system since the end of World War II.

The Authoritarian Resurgence in World Politics

by Alexander Cooley, Alexander Dukalskis ...

This is a story not just of the limits of liberal influence across the world, but of how authoritarian governments came to dictate the global agenda by repurposing the very actors, tools, and norms that once afforded US-backed liberalism such global prominence. Following the end of the Cold War, the world experienced a remarkable wave of democratization. Over the next two decades, numerous ... Read more

Logics of Hierarchy

The Organization of Empires, States, and Military Occupations

by Alexander Cooley ...

Political science has had trouble generating models that unify the study of the formation and consolidation of various types of states and empires. The business-administration literature, however, has long experience in observing organizations. According to a dominant model in this field, business firms generally take one of two forms: unitary (U) or multidivisional (M). The U-form organizes its ... Read more

Sovereign Transfers in International Relations

by Alexander Cooley, Hendrik Spruyt ...

Increasingly today nation-states are entering into agreements that involve the sharing or surrendering of parts of their sovereign powers and often leave the cession of authority incomplete or vague. But until now, we have known surprisingly little about how international actors design and implement these mixed-sovereignty arrangements.
