POSC 405:001 International Law
Covid-19 has underscored the flaws in the Westphalian Legal Order and its ability to address current global problems. Given the technological revolution, globalization, climate change, mass migration, poverty, and internal armed conflicts, international challenges have made borders porous and impossible for states to deal with these problems unilaterally. In many ways, the principle of sovereignty has become obsolete.
Given the global challenges confronting the international community, as outlined above, discuss the continuing relevance of the Peace of Westphalia in the post-Covid-19 era. What aspects of the Westphalian Legal Order will remain and what new global governance structures will emerge to mitigate the consequences of current and future international problems?
