The international order that the United States has for decades led and maintained is undergoing dramatic change. In this essay, we explain how international law was constituted with, and dependent on, U.S. power during this period, how the two became (in an odd couple fashion) entwined together, and how, as the international order changes, the international legal system, its content and its architecture, will also inevitably change.
