Summary
This chapter recapitulates IST’s central assumptions and predictions, as well as the findings from the case studies. It identifies a number of empirical patterns emerging from the cases, which suggest areas for future research. The chapter also identifies alternative methodologies for testing IST and concludes with a discussion of IST’s implications for theories of power shifts and international order. Finally, it discusses the policy implications of IST for the future of the liberal international order.
