Samir Saran argues that the systemic flaws of the last 80 years have led to the unraveling of the "Atlantic order." This traditional power structure, dominated by Western institutions and norms, is no longer sufficient to manage the complexities of modern geoeconomic and geopolitical entanglements.

Four Key Developments Shaping the Future

• The new world order is not emerging in a vacuum; it is being forged by four distinct, often conflicting, dynamics:
• American Re-assertion: A strategic mission by the United States to re-establish its dominance and maintain its role as the primary global leader.
• The Rise of China: China’s rapid ascent as a global superpower, challenging the existing status quo and creating a bipolar tension.
• The US-China Negotiation: The ongoing, high-stakes dialogue and competition between these two giants as they attempt to define the "rules of the road" for their relationship.
