An axiom of international relations attests to the fact that after the “Thirty Years’ War” and the Westphalian Peace of 1648 the world is governed by a system of rules that is unanimous accepted, in an obvious or tacit manner, by all actors of the international system. Currently, there are many challenges to the Western rules-based international system, among which worth mentioning the Brexit and the election of President Trump to the White House. Despite strong rules and well-developed institutions, the West has been built and continues to build on strong compromises between the US and its allies. President Trump’s controversial stance around Article 5 of the NATO Treaty could change that. From economy to security, everything is going to be affected. If rules based systems can evolve in such a way as to contribute to international peace and prosperity, this new design must be based on a full understanding of the realities of power at the international level, but most importantly, on full understanding that these rules have to be the extension of a pragmatic new reality.
