Restoring Global Stability: The Strategic Role of American Diplomacy in Multilateral Institutions

Abstract

This paper reviewed United States foreign policy used in multilateral organizations as the basis of regaining international stability in the wake of the post-pandemic period. Being conducted on the basis of a mixed-methods approach, the study examined the U.S. involvement in the membership of the United Nations (UN), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2018-2024. The results became evident that the personable attendance of delicate U.S. UAE ambassadorship formed powerful effects on the validity, competence, and the ability of multilateral structure to respond to crisis situations due to the continuous implication of U.S. in terms of funding and appointment of leaders as well as sponsoring of critical resolutions. Outsets of the research also reported phases of decline, especially when the shift in U.S. foreign policy occurred on one side of the road, which adversely affected the process of international collaboration and institutional trust. It is worth noting that with the new form of multilateral diplomacy that is present in the Biden administration America is once again a world leader, and this has helped in solving problematic situations together such as climate change, global health, and global security. The qualitative findings were compiled with quantitative data, which has a tendency to demonstrate the U.S. aid, leaderships, and resolutions sponsorship. Surveys of the opinions of citizens also indicated that their support of international involvement had increased. This paper adds value to the already existing academic debates on the topics of diplomacy, global governance, and U.S. foreign policy by presenting the new empirical findings and practical recommendations of how to engage in a multilateral approach on a sustainable basis. The study is concluded by the indication of the future research directions that are focused on the comparative diplomacy and technological impacts on the multilateral cooperation.
