Yes, we need clear analyses of international domination patterns that just keep persisting. I also appreciate calling out the claim that Carney's speech was radical. Although, in today's political atmosphere it's not mainstream.
At the same time, any nation seeking to strengthen, or even maintain vestages of, democracy needs to look forward to developing strategic (and short term) coalitions. I give the man credit for standing up when other "middle powers" have failed to do so. Sometimes incrementalists contribute to revolutionary change.
Impressive breakdown of how Carney's 'radical' speech is just a late acknowledgement of what Global South has been sayign for decades. That line about chickens coming home to roost really cuts through the hypocrisy of calling multilateralism 'broken' only when it starts hurting Western nations. Living in the West but having family abroad, I've always noticed that double standard.

Exactly. I think that's spot on.
I think that many would be surprised at the numbers in the United States that no longer want to be the hegemon.
Thanks for bringing this article to the forefront Barry. It was very insightful.
Not big nations, not weak nations, but middle power nations are enjoying the meal. Everyone else is on the menu.
And, for heavens sake!! What's wrong with acknowledging truth? We desperately need more Western leaders to do so.
