Summary

Much of the future of the international order will depend on the interactions of China and the United States, the world's most important autocracy and democracy. Each of these countries has very different conceptions of international order and the place of law within it. Yet despite their very different approaches, both China and the United States share similar attitudes to international law. Both are essentially hegemonic in their approach, and this provides a space for the continuing presence of prodemocratic international law among smaller countries.
