The article reflects on the analysis of global geopolitical changes expressed by various commentators, particularly focusing on Ecuador and the broader international context. It highlights the view of Amitav Acharya, who contends that the current liberal international order is already failing, and we are witnessing the emergence of a 'multiplex' order that features multiple regional and thematic leaderships outside the traditional power centers of Washington and Brussels. This shift reflects a growing trend where regions like Asia and Africa are asserting their roles through regional agreements and cooperation initiatives. In Asia, the consolidation of regionalism is notable through market-opening instruments such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) with China, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and the active market collaboration among ASEAN members. These developments symbolize a shift towards economic alliances that prioritize regional trade and cooperation, undermining past hegemonies that dictated global trade rules. Similarly, Africa's first continental free trade agreement and the role of the African Union in maintaining a rules-based order point towards a significant regional empowerment that challenges historical frameworks of global governance. The article also identifies Donald Trump as a disruptive force within this shifting landscape, as his leadership and policies from the United States have profoundly impacted the existing world order. This characterization suggests a broader narrative of upheaval and transformation where long-established norms are being questioned, and new pathways are being forged according to regional ambitions and collective practicalities. The implications of this shift raise questions about the future of international relations and the stability of existing global structures.
