The New Global Geopolitical Order

Petar Kurečić ; Political Science graduate and professor of geography

Abstract

World-order can be a geopolitical category, but it is also the object of research of the international relations. International relations and geopolitics research the order from their own aspects and according to their needs. The difference is more visible in the approach and framework, and less in the object of research. Post-Cold war world and global geopolitical system are undergoing transformations. Deconstruction of Cold War geopolitical world-order, followed by geopolitical transition, established the New geopolitical world-order. In order to understand the nature and characteristics of the contemporary, New geopolitical world-order, we must learn the determinants of the order in general, conditions of creation, players and processes in the New geopolitical world-order. Players are crucially determining order, and they also strongly affect the processes. States are the most important players in the order, and they are undergoing big transformation. But the processes are most strongly affected by the international organizations, not the states. However, processes sometimes evolve almost independently. Players and processes are interacting and creating global geopolitical relations. The future of the world order is uncertain. It will be a future full of risks, uncertainties and insecurities.
