EMERGENCE OF A MULTIPOLAR WORLD ORDER POST-2026 CONFLICT

Abstract

The global system is transitioning from a largely unipolar structure to a multipolar world order, accelerated by geopolitical developments after the 2026 conflict. While the United States continues to hold significant influence, its relative dominance is increasingly challenged by the rise of China and Russia. This article explains the drivers of this transition, compares strategic positions, and outlines implications for global stability in a clear and structured format.
