But the\ncurrent governments of both the United States and the United Kingdom are\nreviewing fundamental constants of the international system that their countries\nhave decisively and in their benefit formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the end of the WWII, the world Western system was managed by international institutions and\nrules respectively, e.g. Bretton Woods, World Bank, International Monetary\nFund, NATO, World Trade Organization, etc. which created and formed by USA and\nUK. The advanced bastions of the American capitalist system Japan and Germany\nmain opponents of the US and Britain during the WWII were rebuilt and\nreconstructed by American funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Liberal world&#8217;s victory over Communism was achieved in co-operation\nbetween the USA and the UK, thereby sealing the global prevalence of liberal\ncapitalism. The liberalisation of world trade and capital and foreign exchange markets equivalently were Anglo-Saxon achievements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creation of the EU as well as historic EU options such as the Treaty\nestablishing the European Coal and Steel Community (18 April 1951), Treaties of Rome: EEC and Euratom treaties (25 March\n1957), EU enlargement to Eastern Europe, the Treaty of Lisbon\n(13 December 2007), the Schengen Agreement (14 June 2007) etc. it was the UK&#8217;s\nmain plan, which at the same time had excluded-as an EU member-itself both in\nits participation in the euro-common currency and in the implementation of\nSchengen Agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The English language became a universal language while in combination with\nthe Anglo-Saxon values and culture that together constitute the global lingua\nFranca create what is called soft power and is the most valuable weapon of\ninternational excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But today both the US government and the UK government have received\n&#8220;defensive&#8221; positions (isolationist positions) from the international\nsystem that these two countries have formed for their benefit. More\nspecifically, NATO is being undermined while its members are divided (for more\ninformation about this issue please read analysis titled \u201cThe Split of NATO\nmembers\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>International multilateral treaties (from the global climate to the nuclear\nINF Convention) are abandoned by the United States but also gradually from the\nUK, which is leaving the EU, disregarding the geopolitical and economic\nsituation in which the EU is its vital space for UK in which it could prosper\nby claiming with the US world domination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the UK government&#8217;s indifference to the Brexit and its\nconsequences (possible internal secession of Scotland from the UK and its stay\nin the EU) coincides with the paralytic of the World Trade Organisation, which\nhas been caused by US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The non-possibility of judicial settlement of trade disputes between the\n165 members of the WTO creates jungle conditions, leaving the weak countries\ndefenseless against the powerful countries, while disintegrating the internal\ninstitutions and rules that prevailed worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, the strong countries are experiencing the illusion of power,\nignoring that state power without the existence of a collective system will\nsooner or later result in disarray and chaos that the powerful countries will\nhave to clean up but at a much higher cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the prosperous societies of the West are faced with serious\nchallenges such as security issues, climate change, global economic downturn,\netc. Therefore, they should always remember that in the geopolitical and economic\nzero-sum game of the Game Theory it ends up for everyone to be negative in the\nlong run just the difference is that they don&#8217;t all lose to the same\ndegree.&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The USA and the UK or the UK and the USA for at least three centuries and always through the historical continuity between Pax&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[990,991],"tags":[1343,216,70],"class_list":["post-1703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-columns","category-feuilleton","tag-international-system","tag-uk","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1703"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1703\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1704,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1703\/revisions\/1704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
