| Popis: | The late-twentieth-century phenomenon often referred to as globalization involved a drastic reshaping of the overall structure of world politics-a shift from rigid bipolarity to diffuse unipolarism. The East-West divide was replaced by a hub-and-spokes configuration whose center was the United States and the other Group of 7 nations and whose periphery was a heterogeneous conglomerate of underdeveloped Third World and former Second World nations. The conventional view of three worlds of development, with an East-West and a North-South axis, had been replaced by a single but highly stratified structure. This neoimperial system, which President George Bush Senior christened the "New World Order," meant a fundamental rearrangement of international regimes. It increased the ongoing erosion of national sovereignty, reducing the scope of the UN system and multilaterality in general, and enhanced the hegemonic role of the global financial institutions that make the rules of world politics, economics, and culture in terms of Western interests. |
