Abstract

[What system is hiding behind this anonymity? Actors and observers of the old international politics, as if destabilized by their loss of points of reference, have not managed to rechristen the system that has been taking shape since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Worse still, the race toward intellectual conservatism had begun, everyone desperately seeking to recycle the old and moribund idea of poles. Arithmetic enthusiasts believed that a bipolar system from which one of the two superpowers had defected could not help but produce a unipolar system through the simple operation of subtraction. Those, on the other hand, who were impatiently awaiting the restoration of their sovereignty advocated a system that had become multipolar.]
