XXI CENTURY GEOPOLITICS: CHANGING OF THE WORLD ORDER AND THE MILITARIZATION OF THE WORLD
Alen Sućeska
Abstract
Geopolitics, as a discipline which studies the causal relationships between political power and geographic space, is becoming a more significant sphere of social and political global change which is a consequence of international relations. The research analyses geopolitical changes which are occurring and are about to occur, as well as the causes and possible consequences of those changes. It is argued that the geopolitical dominance of the United States is coming to an end, and that China and India are readily marching forward to the world scene. One of the results of that is that space, by its ever more intense militarization, is becoming a new domain of geopolitical conflict. With the absence of adequate functioning of international institutions such as the UN, it is concluded that the consequences of the described changes can be the intensifying of conflicts, but also an even more resolute creating of multipolarity.
