Multipolarity

Multipolarity refers to a global power structure where multiple countries or regions hold significant influence and capabilities, rather than dominance being concentrated in just one (unipolar) or two (bipolar) powers. In a multipolar world, several nations—such as the U.S., China, Russia, and others—play key roles in shaping international politics, economics, and security. This creates a more complex and balanced system, with power distributed among various actors, leading to increased diplomacy, alliances, and competition among these influential countries. Multipolarity often results in a dynamic, interconnected international landscape with multiple centers of influence.
