East-West relations

East-West relations refer to the political, economic, and cultural interactions between countries in the Eastern hemisphere (primarily Asia) and those in the Western hemisphere (mainly Europe and North America). Historically characterized by ideological differences, such as capitalism versus communism during the Cold War, these relations have evolved to include cooperation in trade, security, and global issues like climate change. Today, the dynamics are shaped by globalization, regional conflicts, and the rise of emerging powers. Effective dialogue and understanding are crucial for addressing shared challenges and fostering mutual respect between these diverse regions.
