Description:The “global order” as a set of norms, rules and patterns of practice undergoes accelerated transition. That very simple fact means that conventional wisdom loses its purchase. We are entering a new era but the break with the past is gradual, and comparisons with past periods risk to mislead. New conceptual categories need to be devised – if not to cast a net to catch the world,1 then to trace the movements of global politics to meaningfully define and then promote a state’s national interest. Many such concepts are traded. Too often they betray their authors’ analytical biases, political agendas or just simply following fashionable streams of thought. Take concepts like multipolarity, fragmentation, contestation, or deglobalisation. What does it mean to say that the world is multipolar when in terms of national resources that can be mobilised the U.S., followed by China, are far ahead other powers?2 Or fragmented and deglobalised when economic and social life is shaped by global flows more than ever? Or contested when indeed, geopolitical revisionism is a fact of global life, but in various intensities and scales, and many seek to operate (and granted, improve their lot) within the existing order rather than imagining radical political alternatives (take the case of China)? The world is post unipolar. This means that following an historically short and exceptional moment after the implosion of the USSR in the conditions of a deferred rise of China, the U.S. enjoyed a moment of uncontested primacy in world affairs. That, to remember, never meant a lack of resistance to the hegemonic power projection, but one where this resistance was pushed to global peripheries or practiced in indirect ways. Now, the U.S is not indispensable anymore, and power is more diffused – but clearly not to the point that a number of comparable poles would emerge. This diffusion translated into a weakening power to bind and to order. The result is more normative pluralism on one hand and a more articulated resistance to liberalism on the other, the latter evident both at the level of revisionist powers and transnational illiberal networks.3 This dynamic provides more leeway for middle powers and others to shop for patronage and other resources independently or assert their influence as the hegemon’s capacity to restrict their ability to freely manoeuvre fades. Such structural condition produces ambition, projected in concepts such as multipolarity – and other visions of the global order that give justice to the changing balances of power. The Kremlin skilfully instrumentalises this emancipatory drive as it did in the past, dusting off the cold war playbook. However, despite its rhetoric promoting a multipolar order and the use of hybrid strategies to maintain global influence, it is far from playing at the high table of global politics. That makes it distinct from China whose global ambitions are backed by the resources of an economic powerhouse, even if it is not unshakeable as demonstred e.g. by the severe decline in Chinese loans in Africa caused by more austere domestic policy in face of the current economic challenWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
