Zelo dobra analiza in teza Timofeja Bordacheva, predsednika Valdai kluba: če se z zmanjševanjem moči ZDA ter njene želje in sposobnosti ohranjanja mednarodne ureditve po koncu hladne vojne dosedanja mednarodna ureditev bliža svojemu koncu in če se nove sile (Kitajska, Rusija, Indija ali BRICS kot celota) niso pripravljene angažirati k vzpostavitvi nove mednarodne ureditve in njenemu vzdrževanju, potem gremo v smeri, kjer tudi ni več globalnih vladarjev oziroma hegemonov, kot smo jih poznali. Na čem potem v tej praznini lahko temelji de facto mednarodni red in globalni mir? Bprdachev pravi, da se bo medanrodni red vzpostavil na podlagi mednarodnega ravnotežja moči, ta pa je je odvisna od vojaške (jedrske) moči držav. Torej bo za ravnotežje skrbelo nekaj držav z jedrskim orožjem, ostale države pa se bodo v vakuumu brez hegemona morale ustrezno prilagoditi na podlagi svojih strateških interesov.
The day is not far off when the very notion of “international order” will lose its former meaning – just as happened with the once-theoretical concept of “multipolarity.” Originally conceived in the mid-20th century as a way to balance power among great states, multipolarity now bears little resemblance to what its originators had in mind. The same is increasingly true of international order.
In recent years, it has become commonplace to say that the global balance of power is shifting and that previous leaders are no longer able to maintain their dominant positions. This much is obvious. No group of states today is capable of enforcing its vision of justice or order upon the rest of the world. Traditional international institutions are weakening, and their functions are being re-evaluated or hollowed out. Western Europe, once a central pillar of global diplomacy, appears to be in the final phase of its strategic decline – a region now better known for procedure than power.
