Modern Global Politics and the Emerging World Order Power Restructuring and International Relations

Abstract

Global politics in the twenty-first century is undergoing a profound structural transformation, reflecting the erosion of the traditional world order and the gradual formation of a new world order. This article aims to analyze the characteristics of modern global politics within the context of an emerging international order, with particular emphasis on the restructuring of power, shifts in the balance of power among major states, and the growing role of non-state actors. The study employs a theoretical analysis grounded in contemporary International Relations frameworks—namely realism, liberalism, and constructivism—to explain the dynamics of power, security, and global governance. The findings suggest that the emerging world order is increasingly multipolar, characterized by heightened uncertainty and the overlapping of political, economic, and technological forms of power. These developments have significantly increased the complexity of contemporary international politics and reshaped patterns of conflict, cooperation, and governance at the global level.
