The New World Order: Russia’s Position from a Political Perspective
Abstract
After World War II, the intensification of scientific, technical, and technological development triggered numerous structural changes in international relations. One of these changes was reflected in the emergence of a new world order and the dynamics of competition within it. In the contemporary international system, global influence is increasingly determined through the framework of regional power actors. For superpower states, collaboration with regional actors has become essential to expand spheres of influence. One of the driving factors behind this trend is globalization, which has effectively diminished the relevance of state borders. Complex political and economic interconnections amplify the negative consequences of any conflict, thereby enhancing the role of regional actors. Within this context, the Russian Federation holds a strategically significant position as a regional power in the modern international arena. Russia is capable of projecting influence across multiple regions. Its borders with major continents and regions—including Europe, the Caucasus, and Asia—grant it a crucial geopolitical role, making it a key political actor in the new world order.
