In light of that, it also discusses several of the possibilities that lay ahead for a future order and engages in the ongoing debates. Indeed, the so-called international liberal order has been under challenge for some time. In all probability, that condition will not change in the near future and may even exacerbate. In fact, one of its more recent threats includes war in Europe, more specifically the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which further endangers its existence. Many, if not most, appear to believe that after the Russian invasion the world will never be the same again. Under these conditions, and independently of the type of ordering that we will see in the future, the article argues that given the historical and long-standing relationship between the US and Portugal the latter can play a significant role, as occurred during the Cold War, albeit this time with respect to energy.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Resumo O presente artigo analisa a presente ordem internacional que emergiu após o fim da Guerra Fria e alguns dos principais desafios que presentemente enfrenta. Nesse âmbito, discute também as várias possibilidades existentes em relação a uma ordem futura e envolve-se nos debates existentes sobre a matéria. De facto, a chamada ordem internacional liberal tem sido desafiada desde há já algum tempo. Com toda a probabilidade, essa condição não se vai alterar num futuro próximo e pode até exacerbar-se. Com efeito, um dos mais recentes desafios inclui a guerra na Europa, mais concretamente, a invasão da Ucrânia pela Rússia, que poderá por ainda mais em perigo a sua existência. Muitos, se não a maior parte, consideram que o mundo não será mais como anteriormente. Independentemente do tipo de ordem que se estabeleça no futuro, o artigo argumenta que, tendo em consideração a histórica relação de longa data entre os Estados Unidos da América e Portugal, este último pode ter um papel importante, como aconteceu durante a Guerra Fria, mas desta vez em relação à energia.]]></p></abstract>
