Abstract
The EU’s foreign policy makers are committed to backing the rule-based international order and the creation of international law treaties to tackle global issues. The importance of world framework policies as the foundation of the current world order system that was created after the Second World War is overlooked by the rules-based concept of world order. Based on the High Representative’s strategy papers, this article assesses the views of EU foreign policy makers on world order, multipolarity, and multilateralism to understand the EU’s position in the current transition phase of the world order system. The article also addresses the significance of strategic autonomy as it appears as the core concept of the EU policy towards order transition. The analysis is based on International Relations (IR) scholarship and Complex Systems Theory (CST), which reveals gaps and inconsistencies in current EU views on the changing world order and the necessity to improve our understanding of how the world order transition is evolving.

Extract
With the wave of Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) renewable energy arbitrations coming to an end, investors are seeking to enforce their awards in three continents. This article examines the first decisions issued by domestic courts in relation to the recognition and enforcement of intra- European Union (EU) ECT awards against Spain. The findings of the courts in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia in these first enforcement cases will have an impact on the enforcement of the many awards that are pending enforcement and future awards that will be rendered in the pending cases against Spain.
