Summary/Abstract: The present paper makes, at a certain level of abstraction and generalization, a synthesis of the state of the international system, starting from the concept of “international order”. International order is defined in this article as a situation, not as a value, goal or objective, and its approach does not emphasize international law or international organization, but analyzes order as something that exists independently of both, although it is recognized the place of regulations - whether or not they have the status of law - in the establishment and functioning of the order. The approach is an attempt to understand the current international order, including the play of the actors and how they relate to it. Analysis of the current international order shows that it is fraught with risks and threats induced by forces in action, visible or underground, affecting the interests of those who contributed to the creation of this order and who strive to maintain it.
