This is an important perspective - our current international order is about a lot more than trade, tariffs and investment. It is about peace, security, development, climate change, shared standards, and respect for law, including human rights and international humanitarian law. We diminish ourselves and what’s at stake dramatically by limiting the conversation to “rules based order”, as if conventions on genocide and torture, for example, are mere “rules”. Much of the current neo-liberal and more conservative commentary misses this point entirely.
