Geopolitical analysis of the return of international system to classical geopolitics in the 21st century and the decline of globalization

Abstract

There is no doubt that the international system does not continue on one approach and one pace, but rather it is subject to global transformations and events during its various stages of development, and each time period has its own laws and strategies imposed by the type of international relations and interactions that govern its prevailing international system. Among the laws of multipolarity that prevailed in the world during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the first half of the twentieth century,and the fierce competition and armed conflicts that accompanied it between the major international powers to expand areas of influence and control, passing through the laws of bipolarity during the Cold War, arriving at the proposals and strategies of globalization that invaded the world in the phase of the unipolar system and the dominant power claiming global leadership, and then returning again at the beginning of the twenty-first century to the multipolar system.After the rise of international powers that became competitors to the dominant power in world leadership, which brought to mind images of fierce competition and international conflict to obtain colonies and share areas of influence between competing powers. Each period of time has geopolitical analyses and theories, conducted and formulated by geopolitical analysts that are consistent with the nature of that period, and in a way that serves the interests of countries and their strategic goals.
