Will the United States recover its authority? It is the erosion of the possibility that any single state, or compact group of great powers, can supply order for everyone else. The United States remains pre-eminent in several domains, but it depends on production networks it does not control. First, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership survived the United States’ withdrawal from its predecessor. Second, when the World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Body became unable to hear appeals, a group of WTO members initiated the Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement.
