Horga, Ioan (2010): Imperial Trends in Global International Society. Published in: POLITICI IMPERIALE ÎN ESTUL ŞI VESTUL SPAŢIULUI ROMÂNESC. Simpozion internaţional (2010): pp. 531-540.

Abstract

Although multipolar, Global International Society has unipolar (imperial) trends too. Even if it is dominated by several stakeholders, current international system is a strong “state system”. Yet only a small number of states have structural power being able to influence the nature of international system. Multidimensional system of power determines hierarchy and balance of power in Global International Society. International agendas are interdependent – military, economic and environmental agendas provide the premises to promote unipolar trends.
