The New World Order: A Clash of Perspectives

D. Aondoakaa Utume

Abstract

It is not the fact of different perspectives by itself that motivates this article. It is normal, and human too, to expect many perspectives on a common phenomenon, and they have' already been expressed bounteously. But we are warned about the possibility of what subsequent actions such divergence of perspectives might engender in the international system. Major powers such as all the G-7 (or at least some of them), whose actions inevitably have far-reaching implications for the world are involved. Entire regions are also involved or concerned where the mere number of their populations renders them very significant! Take for example the Third World or me South which has more than two-thirds (2/3) the world population: Though 'power'-less the way these regions look at the new world order and how that conditions their actions has great consequences on their populations. Or take Europe, traditionally held as the 'cockpit' of the world. How it sees, and how it operates in, the new world order is of great significance to the entire human race.
