international order maintenance mechanisms in the contemporary system of international relations

The article explores the main mechanisms of the maintenance of international order in a contemporary system of international relations. Within the system of international relations an order status is maintained by mechanisms of two types: organized and elemental. In this context, the mechanisms for maintaining order can be divided according to not only the degree of organization but also the content.

International order is the sum of certain rules and principles established by all countries; those that they observe are built on the interaction of different factors.
