Learn about the transition from Cold War bipolarity and post-Cold War unipolarity to today's complex global landscape dominated by US-China competition and rising middle powers. Discover how countries are increasingly able to protect themselves, assert their interests, and influence international events independently. Analyze the far-reaching implications of this new age for the United States and examine the opportunities Washington has to shape this evolving order through strategic decision-making. Gain insights into great-power dynamics, alliance structures, and deterrence strategies in an era of nuclear multipolarity, with particular focus on Asia-Europe regional dynamics and the role of China in contemporary geopolitics.
