Global Power Structures

Global power structures refer to the way international influence and authority are organized among countries and institutions. These structures determine how decisions are made on global issues like security, trade, and environment. Major countries, organizations like the United Nations, and economic alliances hold varying degrees of influence, shaping global policies and priorities. Power dynamics can be based on military strength, economic size, diplomatic influence, or technological leadership. Understanding this network helps explain how countries collaborate, compete, or conflict in addressing worldwide challenges.
