From a normative perspective, whether great powers are the best states for keeping order in the international system is a matter of debate. On one hand, great powers have the resources and influence to enforce order and stability in the international system. Their military capabilities, economic strength, and diplomatic reach give them the ability to intervene in conflicts, mediate disputes, and uphold international norms and laws.

However, there are also concerns about the potential for great powers to abuse their position and act in their own self-interest rather than for the greater good of the international community. History has shown that great powers have often pursued their own agendas at the expense of smaller or weaker states, leading to inequality and injustice in the international system.

Additionally, the concentration of power in the hands of a few great powers can lead to a lack of diversity in decision-making and a disregard for the perspectives and needs of smaller states. This can undermine the legitimacy and effectiveness of efforts to maintain order in the international system.

Ultimately, whether great powers are the best states for keeping order in the international system depends on how they exercise their power and whether they prioritize the common good over their own interests. A more inclusive and collaborative approach to international governance, involving a broader range of states and stakeholders, may be necessary to ensure a more just and sustainable global order.
