Tectonic shifts in the system of international relations

After the collapse of the USSR, at the turn of the XX century and until the first decade of the XXI century, the Anglo-Saxon world order unequivocally maintained the unipolar hegemony of Euro-Atlanticism on a global scale. Possessed by a Luciferian impulse, the Euro-Atlanticist countries tried with all their might to halt the process of historical development, chanting victory and promoting the "end of history" (as F.Fukuyama put it), promoting and imposing a world controlled by blood and fire on the basis of liberal economic (neoliberalism), cultural (postmodernism) and axiological ethics (individualism); nevertheless, this brief and intense period of unipolar world hegemony has begun to show obvious signs of weakening. There are objective and specific geopolitical conditions that make futile any attempt to perpetuate Anglo-Saxon dominance on the international stage in the format of a "New American Century".

Indeed, the project of a "New American Century" is no longer possible, and this is not an assumption, but a fait accompli. During the first decades of the XXI century, which was full of uncertainty and anxiety, the leading revisionist world powers, first of all Russia (which has restored its military capacity) and China (which has become the leading world economy), are shaking the foundations of the obsolete unipolar Euro-Atlantic order and positioning themselves as the leading powers in building a multipolar New International Order. The new order is embodied in the idea of a "civilization state", as opposed to the Westphalian system of nation-states, which has already played its role in history and is not an obstacle to the vested interests of the plutocratic elites of the World Economic Forum.

Obviously, in the XXI century we are gradually entering the world of the post-American era, as today the so-called "collective West" suffers from the emergence of multipolarity, namely the rise of other centers/poles of influence in the world, jeopardizing their interests, which they pursued during the last century of hegemony. Indeed, today the "tectonic shifts" in the system of international relations are damaging the crumbling unipolar order of Euro-Atlanticism: today, the global demographic majority living in the Global South claims its share in a new international structure based on a real economy (that is, raw materials, production and infrastructure) in which all peoples who have historically fallen behind the imperialist projects of the Global North could make their national interests a priority, and thus guarantee development as well as an unconditional respect for the civilizational / cultural differences among them.

As the issue of global and irreversible changes in the world system of the XXI century is on the agenda, we, the countries of Our America, have the crucial task of creating, in geostrategic terms, a Multidimensional Civilizational Space that will transcend the artificially created borders of the modern nation-state. This area is rooted in the traditions of the Old World (Romanization) and the New World (Latin American World); and this should by no means sound like any innovation, since it has always been the historical aspiration of the great continental thinkers of Our America, who instinctively understood the imperative of the Continental Unity of Our Continental People to be able to start an honest and equal dialogue with other civilizations in order to build a New International Order, that would be fully democratic. The New International Order is an alternative to a morally and spiritually decaying West that is desperately trying to perpetuate an increasingly unstable unipolar hegemony (as we can see today in Ukraine and will soon see in Taiwan). In the XXI century, the West has nothing more to offer humanity than war, chaos, terror, and the eventual disappearance of civilization through thermonuclear conflict.

At this stage of transition to the New Multipolar world order of the XXI century, we have to humbly assume the role, assigned to us by the history in these especially difficult times for the mankind. We have to be ambassadors to certain countries, bringing the message that a new multipolar world is being built; we have to set a precedent, acting through people’s diplomacy; we have to offer multipolarity as a new realistic paradigm in foreign policy, that seeks to get beyond the outdated frames, set by our diplomatic missions. We have offer an alternative to the liberal theory of international relations that rests on legal internationalism. That system is out of touch with today’s world and always functions according to the Anglo-Saxon Euro-Atlanticism, which is losing its power.
