From unipolarity to multipolar reality – A new world order is fast emerging
The international system appears to be entering a historic transition. For more than three decades after the end of the Cold War, the world largely operated under a unipolar structure in which the United States stood as the dominant military, financial, and political power. That era shaped global institutions, military alliances, economic systems, and the language of international governance. Yet recent geopolitical developments suggest that this period of overwhelming concentration of power in American hands may gradually be giving way to a more complex and decentralized multipolar order.
