Abstract

The global political landscape is experiencing a potent force currently reshaping the post-cold war liberal order once dominated by global elites. This paper attempt to explore how populist  movements are eroding multilateralism, international norms, migration flows and free trade movements in favor of protectionism, nationalism and anti-immigrant policies. Populism advocate 
for mechanisms aiming to optimize national interests over global interests. The current World order is experiencing tremendous defections from climate change, human security governance and  security governance arrangements which plays a pivotal role in shaping modern civilization. By undermining the values of humanity, this paper proposes strategies which can help enhance global 
cooperation and limit fragmentation in global governance. In order to address these challenges, the  paper recommends enhancing global policies on inequality, democratic institutions, empowering  civil societies and the promotion of social cohesion. The findings of these papers call for an urgent  need in improving the current situation degrading situation by promoting cooperation, peace and 
stability globally in an increasingly constraints political environment.
