Global and European Multilateralism in Crisis?
THE EU, THE US AND THE CRISIS OF CONTEMPORARY
MULTILATERALISM
Mike Smith
In this article, the author analyses how transatlantic relations between the European Union and the
United States influence the current multilateral system since its establishment
...
Three particular elements connected
to multilateralism – institutions, norms and negotiation – are being challenged in the present time,
respectively by variating levels of commitment from international actors, different perceptions of
multilateralism and its actual efficacy, and abandonment of multilateral negotiations in favour of
bilateralism and unilateralism
...
The EU is defined here as a compulsive multilateralist, able to both exert its influence and affirm
itself as an international actor, committed to practices and principles of multilateralism
...
This
phenomenon has been observed through years in the debates over the 2008 Sovereign Debt Crisis or
the on-going migration issues; meanwhile BREXIT raised the prospect of further fragmentation
...
The US are defined here as a selective multilateralist, an attitude permitted by its power and position
in the global scenario, now seen as uncertain and unpredictable
...
As a consequence, its commitment has been limited and multilateral
institutionalism is seen as unauthorized intervention in those identifies as domestic “sovereign
concerns”
...
Current Transatlantic relations can also be viewed in relation to three different core processes: special
relationships that the US may develop with individual European countries; transatlantic governance
through institutions managing transactions and disputes between the two actors; and the different
approaches to the world order, in regard to the use of force in conflict prevention for example
...
The EU-US system is then always changing and evolving, reflecting both short-term
political preferences and long-term contrasts between their different policies
