Taking an empirical approach, this volume shows that democracies have been the primary producers of international legal norms, but authoritarians are learning to use the international legal system to their advantage. Regional organizations have a mixed record in defending democracy, but are likely to play an important role in the future if democracy is to withstand theauthoritarian wave. Liberalism, though battered, will survive as a force in international law for the foreseeable future. 27489/MKRI-P/XI-2024
