Abstract
The Cold War dominated international relations for more than 45 years (1945– 91). It radically altered the global map and illustrated the robust nature of the relationship between the strategic and economic dimensions of world affairs. In strategic terms, these changes became apparent with the crumbling of some states and the formation of others. In economic terms, the increasing integration of the global economy signified the victory of economic liberalism over contending economic systems.
