international order

  
     
  A nontechnical term which refers to the absence of chaos in the relations of states. This state of affairs is obtained through there being agreement on the criterion for being an international actor – which takes the form of sovereignty (sense 1); a means for these notional entities to communicate with each other – which is supplied by diplomacy (sense 1); and a normative framework for their relations – which is supplied by international law.


Occasionally used as a synonym for international society or international system.
