Since the end of the Cold War, the United States emerged as the sole hegemon of the world. This unipolar world order resulted in the supremacy and prosperity of the global north. On the other hand, the global south suffered extreme turmoil and chaos under the US-led world order. The United States had been responsible for almost 81 percent of the wars after World War 2. Furthermore, the United States has a history of betraying its allies after achieving its goals…

The fighting between Israel and Palestine is now in full swing and will continue for some time to come. But despite the uncertainty of the finale, the consequences both regionally and globally are already visible now, and it can be said that the world will no longer be what it was before. One of the most obvious and clear facts may be the further sharp decline of American hegemony in the region and the world. Against the backdrop of the latest events in Gaza, the US has fully demonstrated its complete inability to play the role of hegemon, which will further widen the gulf between the US and the rest of the world…

On October 11, an early by-election was held in Seoul for the chief of the Gangseo-gu district. Seven candidates, including Jin Kyo-hoon of the main opposition force, the Democratic Party of Korea, and Kim Tae-woo of the ruling People Power Party (PPP), were registered to run, according to Central Election Commission data released on October 4. Since the election was considered a predictor of the sentiments of the capital’s voters ahead of the National Assembly elections, which would take place on April 10, 2024, it attracted a lot of media attention. Despite the fact that this is only a by-election with around 500,000 participants, there would be no more voting until April, and accordingly, experts interpreted the outcome as a kind of political barometer…

Recent developments on Israel’s borders have sparked exciting discussions among South Korean expert groups, the first of which notes that although Israel is a US ally, South Korea, with its specific attitude towards Israel, is more tightly connected to the Middle East than to Israel. During Park Chung-hee’s reign, South Korean migrant workers worked in the Middle East for many years, and these proceeds contributed significantly to the economic miracle. To recall, Korea and Israel established diplomatic relations…

Russian’s Vladimir Putin said the ongoing situation in the blockaded Gaza Strip is a “humanitarian catastrophe.” The Russian president clarified that the principle of “collective responsibility,” in the Gaza case, where the elderly, women, children and entire families die, defies logic and decency. However, decency has nothing to do with the liberal world order’s plans for us. Mr. Putin also defines the New World Order as “the same old hypocrisy, double standards, claims to exclusivity, global dominance, to preserve the essentially neocolonial system…

While ever so new crises and fires rage in a unipolar world—take, for example, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which alone might tilt the world into calamity—the United Nations continues to fail in its efforts to negotiate a deal in Libya, thereby abandoning any genuine attempt to bring the country to peace. The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has been guilty of a number of errors that have progressively harmed the country’s chances of stabilization…

Is a new African confederation possible between Ethiopia and Eritrea? This list does not exclude the international arena; hence, on the political map, one can observe at least a few “pairs” of states whose historically conditioned confrontation is taken for granted and continues to be a source of sporadic escalation or ongoing conflicts for many years. North and South Korea, Azerbaijan and Armenia, Turkey and Greece, Iran and Israel, India and Pakistan, China and Taiwan, and, until recently, Ethiopia and Eritrea are a few examples of these unforgiving opponents. After centuries of tense relations…

The world has changed radically. The multipolar world order is now a reality, and it is here to stay. And while the Collective West continues to reject this reality, most of the world’s population have long since drawn their conclusions, irrevocably and definitively. In fact, a great deal has changed in the last few years, not so much in that those who were still unaware of the true face of the Western regimes have been disillusioned, but in that the fear that these regimes once have aroused has disappeared. As has their long-held sense of total impunity…

On 17 October, the 3^rd Forum was held in Beijing, where the results of the ten-year implementation of the global Belt and Road Initiative project were summed up, and ways of its further development were outlined. The special significance of this grandiose international event was given by the large-scale representation of other states at it. This allowed the countries to discuss some important aspects of the difficult international situation, as well as bilateral relations. As, however, it has been happening in recent years at other international venues. In this regard, the three-hour meeting of the Presidents of the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation…

India, which currently holds the G20 presidency, is continuing to fulfil this role confidently and effectively. In connection with this role, on October 12-14, it successfully held a Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit in New Delhi, with a theme chosen by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi: “One Earth, One Family, One Future.”   In various groups, more than 350 parliamentarians from dozens of countries discussed such pressing issues as the green economy and green energy, gender equality, women’s rights and empowerment, and the digitalization of all areas…

The bipartisan US Senate delegation’s four-day trip to the People’s Republic of China, which started on October 7 with a landing at Shanghai airport and ended with a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, is an occasion worth noting. Both in terms of the interactions between the two major international powers and, therefore, in international politics. Let us have a look at a few difficulties that are related to this occurrence. China was not the only country the delegation visited while traveling abroad, but it was the first and clearly the most significant. Furthermore, there is no doubt that the Senate delegation’s discussions with the Chinese leader, as well as prior…

Salva Kiir Mayardit, the president of the world’s youngest state, who has led South Sudan since its independence in 2011, arrived in Moscow on an official visit at the end of September. This visit is notable for a variety of reasons. Salva Kiir missed the Russia-Africa summit in July 2023, most likely under pressure from the US. Additionally, South Sudan, one of the least developed and least stable nations, remains something of a terra incognita for Russians, as the field of Russian African studies is rarely prepared to offer comprehensive and trustworthy knowledge on this nation. As a result, there is…
