Abstract

This paper aims to provide a variety of methods to help solve tensions between great powers by using international law and institutions. It is widely acknowledged that many global tensions between great powers will significantly influence the whole world and must be solved instantly. We still know little about resolving tensions by using international law and institutions. By analyzing current global events and the functions of international institutions like the WTO and the UN Security Council, the paper points out the flaws in international organizations and the need for improvements. The article also views the significance of states as a middle power to resolve tensions. This paper presents an important message that there are plenty of weaknesses in the international system; the conflicts between great power would be dealt with more efficiently and effectively if international institutions and international law made some refinements.

Keywords:

International law, international institutions, tensions
