Word: global order Part of Speech: noun 1. Synonym of world order. Example: In that context Scotland's fate is a modest element, a symptom of wider fragmentation of the current global order, a footnote to the fall of empire and the Berlin Wall, important to us and punchdrunk neighbours like France and Italy, a mere curiosity to emerging titans like Brazil. Example: All the people I spoke with, however, are puzzled by one core aspect of Trump’s worldview: that the United States is a patsy. “We will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer,” Trump declared in his inaugural address. Newly minted Secretary of State Marco Rubio, doing his best to imitate Trump in his confirmation hearings, complained that the United States has in recent decades too often prioritized “the global order” over its national interests. This picture of America strikes the rest of the world as bizarre, almost upside down. After all, the United States has routinely used military force in pursuit of its national interests, unrestrained by global opinion. It invaded Iraq over the objections of other U.N. Security Council members and protests involving millions across the world. It has sanctioned countries unilaterally — from Iran to Cuba to Venezuela — even when its closest allies disagreed. Since 2009, it has imposed the most protectionist measures of any country — nearly 11,000, with China next at just less than 8,000. The rest of the world sees the United States as a country that knows it’s the world’s superpower and acts like it, extracting special terms for itself on almost every issue it regards as important to its national interest. As one foreign leader, who did not wish to be named, told me: “We all accommodate American requests and wishes far more than those from any other country.”
