New World Order

Franjo Turek ; Internal Affairs Ministry, Republic of Croatia

Abstract

Following the disintegration of the socialist bloc and the joint action by the Western forces against Iraq (1990), George Bush introduced a new expression: "new world order", which should have denoted a new chapter in the history of mankind. Everybody expected that an era of peace and security was about to begin, but instead a Pandora's box of wars and crimes against humanity was opened. Great powers proved incapable to sacrifice their realpolitik to the benefit of the new world order, so that it remained just a proclaimed expression. Parallel to the new expectations are the processes of IT development and globalisation, which determine the creation of a new universal order.
