Zohir Badreddine Kerzika of Hisn Al-Mateen Bloc: the world is entering an era of “fragile multipolarity”

Young cadre Zohir Badreddine Kerzika, a member of Hisn Al-Mateen Bloc, offers an in-depth analytical reading of the changes under way in the structure of the international system, arguing that the world is not experiencing mere temporary changes or a conventional redistribution of power, but a more complex and confusing transitional phase.

According to this view, the world is no longer at the stage of 1990s “unipolarity”, nor even of a stable, balanced “multipolarity”, but in a new geopolitical situation that can be described as “fragile multipolarity”: a multiplicity of centres of influence accompanied by rising contestation and political realignment, in the absence of an international system capable of imposing a lasting balance or producing new rules of stability.

The analysis points out that the greatest danger at this stage lies not in the dominance of a single power, but in the strategic vacuum that makes the international system less able to manage rapidly evolving interactions, opening the way to rising regional tensions and spreading instability in more than one arena.

In short, the international system is entering a delicate transition whose defining feature is: many actors… and no compass.
