Governance Models Under Geopolitical Pressure

Contemporary governance systems face mounting geopolitical pressures that test the durability of liberal democratic institutions. This chapter examines how divergent governance models—liberal democratic, populist-illiberal, digital authoritarian, and competitive multilateral—respond to and are shaped by autocratization waves, geoeconomic fragmentation, revisionist power projection, and digital sovereignty contestation. Drawing on V-Dem datasets and international relations scholarship, the chapter identifies four structural pressure dimensions reshaping governance architectures globally, demonstrating that no single model remains insulated from geopolitical forces. The analysis reveals paradoxes: illiberal regimes increasingly exploit multilateral forums while democracies fragment over institutional priorities.
