Re-setting World Order: World Politics in Transition
Abstract
Polar distribution is an important category for the study of international politics. Every polar distribution creates the ‘order’ for a certain period in human history. This way, studying the ‘order’ of a certain era is essential for not only understanding the dynamics of politics; but also for making some accurate predictions about them. This is a ‘theoretical and conceptual’ research article aims analyze the post-Cold War period in international relations, with a significance to contribute in academia and policy making. The central argument concludes that the unipolar moment of the U.S is increasingly being challenged by a rising China, with a possibility of either ending in a bi-polar or multi-polar world order
