Reinventing Multilateral Order, Sundeep Waslekar
Reinventing Multilateral Order, Sundeep Waslekar
New England Journal of Public Policy
The multiple crises of our time result from the breakdown of the multilateral order. Some of these crises may intensify between now and 2030. Multilateral organizations have been eroded to the extent that they are unable to manage catastrophic risk, including a military confrontation between superpowers. The weakening of multilateralism is mirrored in the strengthening of hypernationalism in many countries. It will not be sufficient to mend the multilateral system. It is necessary, instead, to envisage new principles for creating a global governance grid superseding the United Nations Security Council that serves the interests of human civilization and not the …

Challenges For Multilateralism In A Pre-Post-Covid World, Richard Caplan
New England Journal of Public Policy
Multilateralism today faces numerous challenges. This article offers some reflections on those challenges—what they are and how they originated—and how multilateralism can be reinvigorated.

He suggests, instead, how the United States might advance its interests and the global interests and predicts a rather unwelcoming …
War & Public Health In The Twenty-First Century, Barry S. Levy, Victor W. Sidel
War & Public Health In The Twenty-First Century, Barry S. Levy, Victor W. Sidel
New England Journal of Public Policy
War has profound adverse effects on public health. War leads to death for military personnel and especially for civilians, long-term physical and psycho- logical consequences to survivors, destruction of sociocultural and ambient environments, and diversion of needed resources. In addition, war legalizes and promotes violence as a mode of solving problems. These and related issues relating to war in the twenty-first century are analyzed in this paper. The authors discuss several approaches to preventing war and minimizing its consequences on health — including addressing the underlying problems that often lead to war, promoting a culture of peace, and controlling weapons.
