The Neo-Cold War (also known as the Second Cold War) is an expression coined by Joseph Strophe to refer to the post-Soviet era geopolitical conflict resulting from the implementation of two divergent projects for the configuration a New world order.

The two basic opposing ideas for the impending world order are Unipolarity and Multipolarity. The geopolitical aspects of this conflict relate to economic, military, political, cultural, educational, and energy resources competition.

Unipolar vs. Multiplier world :

A multiplier world is the ideology that has been heralded by Russia, China, India and other regional powers as the most attractive alternative to a US-dominated unipolar world. To them multipolarity means multiple poles, or centers of power, distributed widely and more equitably across the globe, with no single pole inordinately dominating the others.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

A unipolar world is defined by Vladimir Putin as “one center of authority, one center of force, one center of decision-making one master, one sovereign.”
