Second, is it really in the long-term interests of Japan to contribute to building a new rigid bipolarity in global politics? Many other major powers—India, Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, to name a few—are trying to use the current turning point in international developments to articulate their independence or at least their ...
Although the U.S.-China-Russia triangle is still a popular and useful analytical pattern and possible future scenario for relations, it does not resemble that of the Cold War
The Chinese authorities have never accepted or used the concept of China-U.S. bipolarity. Neither the so-called co-governance (G2) nor the bipolar confrontation between China and the United States is consistent with China’s diplomatic philosophy and policy. The Russian official narrative has also rejected the idea that the world ...
... multipolar world was the main focus of the world structure. But now this state of affairs has been broken. With the emergence of a bipolar theory, relations between multipolarity and unipolarity is no longer the only pattern of the international structure. Bipolarity and its relations with multipolarity and unipolarity has become a new analytical issue with increasing significance.
