چکیده
دهه نود میلادی شاهد عبور از نظم چندجانبه گرا به نظم یکجانبه گرای لیبرالی بود. ویژگی‌های نهادی این نظم در پی یکجانبه گرایی رو به رشد آن، منجر به مشکلات مشروعیت‌ بخشی این نظم شد، که موجی متفاوت از استراتژی‌های اعتراضی از سوی بازیگران بین المللی را در پی داشت. هدف این مقاله شناسایی تحولات جدید نظم بین المللی و گونه شناسی استراتژی های اعتراضی به آن به روش کیفی و درچارچوب نهادگرایی نئولیبرال است. برای گونه شناسی استراتژی ها بر رفتار دولت ها در مواجهه با نهادهای بین المللی لیبرالی بعنوان شاخص نظم نئولیبرالی تمرکز شده است. بدین منظور به روش مطالعه موردی دو نهاد شورای امنیت سازمان ملل ودیوان بین المللی کیفری و انواع استراتژی ها نسبت به این دو نهاد لیبرالی محل تمرکز مقاله قرار گرفته است.

چکیده English

Introduction
Much of the discussion in international relations focuses on exogenous explanations for challenges to the liberal international order. Power shift theory emphasizes the shift in the distribution of power in the international system through the emergence of illiberal states. Theorists see the hegemonic stability of the liberal economic order as the product of the dominance of a leading economic power based on its competitive advantages. Rational institutionalism focuses on the effectiveness of international institutions in managing relations between allied states and their interests. Cooperation based on the rules of international law in multilateral institutions has facilitated the opening of markets, the establishment of a system of collective security, and the protection of human rights. However, rules-based multilateralism has failed to effectively address new challenges, including stabilizing financial markets, combating unilateralism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the rise of terrorism, and the coronavirus pandemic. The lack of performance and problem-solving capacity has fueled protests against liberal international This article focuses on the endogenous dynamics of the liberal international order’s competitions. The characteristics of the post-national international order have created their own challenges. The neoliberal turn of international institutions has brought about a change in the distribution of wealth and has provoked a strong backlash against the liberal international order by liberal states that were crucial in creating and maintaining it. l institutions. Many of the challenges to the liberal international order come from within industrial democracies and from those who see themselves as the losers of globalization. However, the liberal international order is also challenged by illiberal authoritarian states. Some of them reject the authority of international liberalism entirely, while others challenge only certain aspects of this order.

Materials and Methods
To understand the threats that these internal and external challenges pose to the liberal international order, we consider the emergence of the Web and its variants. The emergence of various protest strategies against the liberal international order is linked to the shift from liberal multilateralism to post-national liberalism. Liberal international institutions with high levels of influence are a major factor in the current wave of protests. It is beyond the scope of this article to address the historical dynamics of the rise of liberal influence in international institutions. This article focuses on how the tensions and contradictions within aggressive post-national liberalism challenge the foundations of international order.After World War II, the United States facilitated the establishment of a multilateral international order with some liberal elements. The post-war liberal international order was based on state consent and involved competition between two global poles. It was a weak international order. The deepening of free trade from the 1960s onwards and the slow but progressive recognition of human rights as universal standards reflect these developments. On the other hand, the growth of the Western model of society in terms of peace, freedom and prosperity - which owed at least in part to the liberal international order - put pressure on the Soviet Union and the collapse of the Soviet Empire occurred.

Discussion & Result
The developments in the liberal international order from this point onwards led to an increase in protests, and countries have pursued different strategies depending on their situation and preferences. The process of order transformation can be summarized in four stages. The first stage was the period after the end of the Cold War. This period witnessed the growth of multilateral institutions at the global and regional levels with indescribable authority that undermined the principle of consent in intergovernmental decision-making. The social purpose of these institutions went beyond the nation-state. They were strongly liberal, supporting individual economic, political, and civil rights. The growing authority of international institutions and the strengthening of their liberal content led to a systemic shift from liberal multilateralism to post-national liberalism. The second stage, the United Nations, as the institution of expression of neoliberalism and its executive representative, provided the influence of these states on the policies of weak countries by concentrating decision-making power in the hands of powerful states. On the other hand, international institutions maintained the hierarchy and distinction of the positions of states through the right of veto as well as through informal processes of accusation. Therefore, international institutions were criticized for not recognizing the true position of countries and influencing the decision-making process regarding them. The promotion and support of liberal norms by international institutions, especially for authoritarian states inside and outside liberal societies, increased the tendency to oppose the post-national liberal international order. Third, the consequences of the redistribution of the liberal international order are different for countries that use their resources and capacities to expand and deepen the liberal worldview, and vice versa for countries that act independently. Fourth, the growing trend of aggressive liberalism, with considerable diversity in terms of conflict and location, has led to a wave of protests.

Conclusion
In general, protests can be considered as discursive and behavioral practices that challenge the authority of international institutions, their liberal influence, or the liberal international order. States choose a specific strategy for protest. Therefore, a typology of strategies in protesting liberal international institutions is necessary. Logically, it is the position of states with respect to the authority of liberalism (preference) and their relative position in the international institution (power) that determines the strategy of protest. The first dimension: refers to actor's power to shape the decisions of an institution The combination of power and preferences leads to the following four spectrum of strategies of protest against the international order. Opposition, reform, withdrawal, neglect: all of which increasingly challenge post-national liberalism. The various strategies of international relations actors show that the legitimacy of this order and the solid foundations based on it, which are the preservation of the sovereignty and national independence of countries and international security, have been undermined by the institutions that established this order and the countries that claim it. And the continuation or end of this situation depends on a serious change and transformation in the approach, procedure, and performance of the institutions and powers that influence this order.
