Introduction
The current international system is confronted by a multitude of interconnected challenges that threaten to undermine its capacity to foster cooperation and address global issues. The emergence of new powers, technological disruptions, environmental crises, and rising protectionism all demand a rethinking of how states engage with each other. Without adequate adaptation and a renewed commitment to multilateral cooperation, the international system risks becoming fragmented, ineffective, and increasingly incapable of tackling the complex issues that define our time.
