Popis: The international order is a complex system that determines the interaction between states and other actors on the world stage. One of the main challenges facing the international order is the spread of authoritarianism. Therefore, understanding the theoretical foundations of the study of authoritarianism is extremely important for analyzing its impact on the international arena and developing countermeasures. The subject of research in the article is the international legal order. The goal is to study the theoretical foundations of authoritarianism as a challenge to the international order. Tasks: to characterize the main approaches to understanding international and world order, as well as to consider modern authoritarianism as a key challenge to international order and security. General scientific methods are used: analytical analysis to reveal the main conceptual approaches and theory related to authoritarianism and its impact on the international order; synthetic method – made it possible to integrate and systematize the obtained results, with the aim of forming a holistic view of authoritarianism as a challenge to the international order. The following results were obtained: the study of the theoretical foundations of authoritarianism is important for understanding its impact on the international order and for developing effective strategies to counter it. A detailed analysis of the factors contributing to the emergence of authoritarianism, as well as identifying the challenges it poses to the international order, contributes to the formation of political and legal measures to support democracy and protect human rights. The study of authoritarianism can be aimed at the development of international strategies to support democratic transformations and the construction of an international order based on the principles of freedom, equality and justice. Conclusions: the theoretical foundations for the study of authoritarianism as a challenge to the international order are highlighted. Authoritarianism is characterized, the reasons for its emergence, and its impact on the international order is analyzed. It has been proven that the study of authoritarianism can be useful for developing strategies to counter authoritarian regimes, strengthen democracy and ensure the protection of human rights in the international context. The important role of the international community in countering authoritarianism and maintaining international order has been proven. It is justified that it highlights the importance of cooperation between countries, international organizations and civil society in ensuring democratic transformations and protecting basic rights and freedoms. The effectiveness of diplomatic pressure and support of democratic forces in authoritarian regimes to strengthen the international order is also analyzed and a conclusion drawn.
