Abstract
The current global geopolitical order is undergoing the most significant transformation since the end of the Cold War. As it has been shrewdly observed, “in terms of geopolitics, we have moved from an age of order to an age of entropy…Problems and crises will arise more frequently and, when they do, will be resolved less cooperatively” (Schweller, 2014). This observation is fully reflected in the present trend toward confrontation in relations between key global actors.
