ABSTRACT
It is fashionable in academic and policy debates to ask, does multilateralism have a future? A more appropriate question is which multilateralism has a future? There is little question that, barring a global cataclysm, some form of multilateralism will remain as a building block of global order. But the traditional conceptualization of multilateralism is under challenge. That version was too beholden to the state, American power, Western leadership, and the global level of interactions. What is coming in its place is as yet indeterminate, but I propose one possible direction, post-hegemonic multilateralism.
