The world is undergoing a profound change. Many call this a “time of transition,” while others label it as a “crisis of the Western-led international order.”. What is clear is that the global system, long dominated by western powers, especially the United States, now faces serious challenges.

We see blatant violations of international law, the unchecked use of force, trade wars, a disregard for global institutions, manipulation of the media, and irreversible destruction of the environment. These are not isolated incidents but signs of a deeper crisis. The West, led by the U.S., no longer holds the same ability to dictate its own will as it once did. Its classic toolkit of dominance — the global financial system, monopoly over science and technology, imposition of so-called human rights standards, and control of global media is losing its effectiveness.
