Abstract:
The international order has been always relying on the fundamentals of states sovereignty and territorial integrity to have a stable and peaceful arena for all the different actors to engage each other, the paper focuses on the period of the post second world war American led order and how they established a system based on liberalism, in terms of human rights and the right of self-determination, with an emphasis on territorial integrity. The United States has sought to navigate these norms by outlining the circumstances in which one principle should be prioritized over the other, creating some sort of fogginess about the destiny of a lot of stateless nations. In addition, the paper seeks to examine through qualitative research framework, the alternative hegemonic system if China once becomes the hegemon and leads the international system, whether it is going to provide better opportunities for a lot of stateless nations, such as the Kurds, for example, to seek independence or it would prioritize territorial integrity over self-determination.
