The term "new world order" in post-Cold War politics refers to a shift towards a more globalized and interconnected world, characterized by a reconfiguration of power dynamics. Following the end of the Cold War, the emergence of the United States as a dominant superpower led to discussions about international cooperation, democracy promotion, and the spread of capitalism and liberalism. It signifies a collective effort to establish international norms and collaborate on global issues, though it has also been met with challenges from rising powers and regional conflicts.
