The End of the Post-Cold War Era: Challenges for Globalization and Free Trade

Sažetak
“Trump protectionism” intensified two questions. The
first one is the question of the future of globalization and the free
trade, as the dominant characteristics of neoliberalism and the
post-Cold War world. For a decade now, since the outbreak of the
global economic and financial crisis, the world economy and liberal
democracy have been failing to solve poverty and environmental
problems and find a growth model. As a result, the world is increasingly
looking towards China, to which globalization and free
trade have brought today’s power, and now through the “One Belt,
One Road” initiative, based on investment in infrastructure and
innovation, offers a way to revive the global economy. Economic
poverty is causing political extremism and terrorism, which is the
main security challenge for the future. United Nations and the new
multipolar world are obliged to promote economic growth and political
stability primarily in the Middle East and Africa, in order to
tackle the issue of terrorism, ethnic conflicts and migrant crises.
The second question is whether the administration of President
Donald Trump will begin an intense trade and military competition
with China or will keep American politics of so-called congagement,
that is, military restraint over China and economic cooperation
with that country. By comparing and analysing documents,
comparing the phenomena and the data related to the scope and
consequences of protectionist measures that have been undertaken
in a recent history, especially US history and nowadays, this
paper will show to what extent these two questions will affect
international security as well as whether the principles of non-
-aggression, mutual respect and win-win cooperation advocated by
“emerging powers” countries, particularly China, will lead to a new
world order.
