Haass argues that, in order to address the current state of disarray in the international system, states must adopt the perspective of "sovereign. obligation". This is because the system has changed. In his words; "The world is not to be confused with Las Vegas: what happens somewhere rarely remains there. Almost anyone and anything, from tourists, terrorists, and both migrants and refuges to e-mails, weapons, viruses, dollars, and greenhouse gases, can travel on one of the many conveyor belts that are modern globalization and reach any and every corner of the globe." (p. 226) But, how likely is this notion of obligation, which would see states required to work with others to address problems far away from their homeland, to take root? Define Haass' notion of World Order 2.0, explain why it is/not likely from the perspective of the three theories covered during the course, and make an argument as to which theory is correct.
