CHALLENGES TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER

Radovan Vukadinović ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The disintegration of the socialist regime in Europe did away with the bipolar model of world order and inaugurated a new phase in seeking a new structure and model of international relations. This new world order, only broadly outlined and characterised by (mostly) unilateral leadership, has already been challenged. Two superpowers — China and Russia — condemn the hegemony, unilateralism and the attempts at dictating the international relations. China and Russia are supported by a group of disgruntled countries who also think that a broadly-based multi-polarity is the direction that international relations and the new world order should take. Judging by these challenges and criticisms it might be said that only multilateral cooperativeness can guarantee validity to the nascent world order.
