| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Believe it or not, the world has changed not due to worldwide wars but in a reformative, progressive, inconspicuous way. Though there is no clear-cut division between quantitative change and the qualitative one, after the alternations of the Westphalian System, the Versailles-Washington System and the Yalta System, world order is being restructured for a fourth time, a historical moment unprecedented in the last 400 years. Dramatic, at times devastating, changes of order were once linked to globe-wide wars (hot or cold), but the current change in world order stems from regional conflicts such as those in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, nuclear crises in the DPRK and Iran, the Ukraine crisis, and friction over East China and South China seas. Rising new economies, sluggish Western economies with changing demographics, emerging non-state actors, and interlocking problems contest theWest’s leadership of the international system. |
