Towards a New International Order or Towards Chaos

This article examines the conditions shaping the new international order, or rather, chaos. The West’s global dominance, under the banner of liberal democracy and globalization, which began after the end of the Second World War, is coming to an end with the major gathering in Tianjin, China, on 31 August and 1 September. Donald Trump seems to want to cooperate more with Putin and the Chinese leader than with the EU, from which he is hastening to distance himself amid the EU’s current decline. The new American leader is not interested in the rest of the world, but only in America, which he will try to make great again with the help of tariffs. The new international order will be multipolar, dominated by the integrated South, with its own leadership and specifications that will be completely different from those of the West. However, it is doubtful that this new international order, which will no longer be governed by international law, will not lead to chaos, the return of wars and the primacy of force, according to Thucydides.
