Abstract

The US is undermining the very order it built, and the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit shows how China is seizing the moment to offer an alternative. Terrence Mullan writes that historical patterns indicate that the result may not be a new global system, but a more independent world of shifting power and contested rules.
