Are Western double standards undermining the global order?

A study by the Munich Security Conference has warned that the rules-based international order is at stake.

Countries in the Global South have long accused the West of only defending the international order when it is convenient.

China is offering an alternative approach: Instead of globally applicable rules, China wants "absolute sovereignty," meaning non-interference in internal affairs.

Eisentraut: Western countries should minimize contradictions between their demands and their actions.

He says they should be honest about when "consistency has its limits" and move away from a black-and-white view of the world in which states are either rule-abiding or rule-breaking.

He argues that Western double standards are no better than an order with no standards at all.
