DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The world order ‌is changing but not enduring a rupture, finance leaders said on Friday, pushing back on Canadian ‌Prime Minister Mark Carney's narrative that a new order, driven by major power coercion, was ‌taking shape.

In his speech at Davos, Carney called on nations to accept that a rules-based global order was over and great powers were abandoning even the pretence of following international agreements.
