| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the post Cold War world of the 21st century, Pakistan finds itself isolated and at odds with the international community. The United States, the world's sole superpower, and its G-7 allies, after defeating their rival the Soviet Union and ending its strategic threat, have started to confidently determine the fate of global politics. The fall of the Berlin Wall formalized the collapse of the Soviet Union and the triumph of Western liberal democracies over authoritarian Communism. In the words of a commentator, William Lind, the 'civil war of Western Civilization' was over. A new Unipolar World Order, under the United States domination, was established. The world has been made safe for democracy and the dividends of peace and prosperity were to follow through the forces of free market economies and Western advanced technologies. Regional conflicts are controlled either directly by the guardians of the new order, or through the United Nations. |
