Summary

Sustainable development and economic stability have limited prospects of fruition in the absence of a more orderly international system. Global political stability is to transnational economic growth what air is to fire: without the former, the latter cannot even begin, much less flourish. The general idea is, therefore, twofold: more provisions must be made to regulate what Realist international relations scholars have already defined as an inherently anarchic system of governmental interaction. Having outlined these provisions, it is necessary to analyze the numerous ways in which a more cooperative international order can translate into a comprehensive solution for the food and energy problem.
