TRANSITIONS AND CHANGES IN GLOBAL GEOSTRATEGIC POWER BALANCE
Abstract
Today, global political relations are experiencing significant changes. The distribution of geostrategic power is influenced by various factors such as competition among nations, economic strength, and military capabilities. Major countries, both central and regional, are pursuing their strategic interests and working towards establishing a new international relations model. As the dynamics between the United States, China, Russia, and other key players evolve, a new geopolitical landscape is taking shape, leading to substantial shifts in international security and order.
This research delves into the evolving global geostrategic power balance, examining its key trends, underlying causes, and potential outcomes. It scrutinizes the current state of international relations, and the strategic policies adopted by countries on regional and global scales, and offers insights into future developments.

Speech and dialogue at the Munich Conference on Security Policy: "I am of the opinion that the unipolar model is not viable for the contemporary world, both in terms of feasibility and desirability. The modern world lacks the necessary military, political, and economic resources to sustain sole leadership. Moreover, the model is fundamentally flawed as it does not align with the moral and ethical principles of modern civilization." | Office of the President of Russia – February 10, 2007.

Ryabkov said that Russia and the United States are in a phase of hot conflict: “I think we have already passed this period (of the Cold War - TASS note), as they say. Now we are in a phase of hot conflict with the United States. We are seeing the direct involvement of this state in a hybrid war with the Russian Federation in a variety of directions.” | TASS April 5, 2023. Moscow https://tass.ru/politika/17453429

George Orwell and the origin of the term “Cold War”: “… the prospect of two or three monstrous super-states, each possessed of a weapon by which millions of people can be wiped out in a few seconds, dividing the world between them … that such a situation is likely to put an end to large-scale wars at the cost of prolonging indefinitely a ‘peace that is no peace’.” | Katherine Connor Martin – Oxford University Press Blog. 24 October 2015, https://blog.oup.com/2015/10/george-orwell-cold-war/
Remarks by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan for the Arms Control Association (ACA) Annual Forum: “First – we have stated our willingness to engage in bilateral arms control discussions with Russia and with China without preconditions. Next – the United States is willing to engage in new multilateral arms control efforts, including through the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, the P5: The United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, and France. The United States will step up to help set the norms and shore up the values of the new nuclear era. We’re already making some progress, including across every major multilateral body that seeks to limit nuclear and WMD risks. The Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference. The Conference on Disarmament. The Chemical Weapons Convention. The Biological Weapons Convention.” | National Press Club – The White House.

INTERNATIONAL ARMS CONTROL: CHALLENGES AHEAD. In the past two decades, the United States, Russia, and China have developed diverging perceptions of the international security environment. At the US-Russia bilateral level, this has become increasingly evident through the collapse of important arms control agreements in recent years – most notably the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. In February 2021, the only remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the two powers, New START, was renewed only two days before its expiration.
