The Liberal World Order was a political project designed to keep together as harmoniously as possible state sovereignty—in its liberal-democratic version—and market economy—entailing free trade on the international level. Framed in this unique way, those three concepts—'international order,’ ‘sovereignty’ and ‘market economy’—have characterized the rise of political modernity. This book states that since the 1980s the Liberal World Order has been gradually replaced by a ‘Neoliberal Global Order’ and exposes the intellectual premises to revive and restore the balance between democracy and market-based economy, the fundamental premise upon which both liberal democracies and the LWO have been built.

“ Vittorio Parsi offers a sweeping and penetrating account of the rise and fall of the modern liberal international order. Elegant, erudite, and insightful, Parsi chronicles the stormy voyage of the Western democracies as they search for calmer seas and gentler winds.“

 G. John Ikenberry, Princeton University, USA

“Vittorio Parsi, one of Italy’s leading scholars of international politics, has produced an important contribution to the ongoing debate over the postwar liberal order, what went wrong with it, and whether it might be restored. 

Michael Mastanduno, Dartmouth College, USA

“One of Europe’s most original thinkers offers a penetrating assessment of the Liberal World Order and its prospects.  

 Matthew Evangelista, Cornell University, USA

“Parsi has written a book of tremendous importance. For anyone interested in a serious examination of the emerging world order, post-Trump and post-COVID, The Wrecking of the Liberal World Order is a must read”.

Mehran Kamrava, Georgetown University, Qatar

“Vittorio Parsi’s is exactly the right book for anyone—student, teacher, news reporter, or policymaker—who wants to understand how our domestic and global politics and economics came to such a sorry state, and what we can do to build a better future.
