The world ahead 2023: Global order continues to reshape Opinion

During the post-World War II period, we had a relatively stable world order. Then came the bipolar world with the Cold War between the two poles. With the disappearance of one of the poles – when the Soviet Union disintegrated into 15 states in the early 1990s – the world began to be perceived as a unipolar world. However, this idea was challenged from the beginning, and now it appears that we are far from a unipolar world.

In the 1990s, liberal ideas were also popular. With the demise of the Communist Soviet Union, the world’s economic and political-ideological climate promoted liberal democracy and neo-liberal economic models. In the 1990s, the world was reshaped under United States’ leadership, which late American columnist Charles Krauthammer called “the unipolar moment.”

The US promoted a “liberal hegemony” by supporting liberal democracies, liberal economic systems and liberal international economic institutions. During this period, advocates of neoliberal economic policies, namely the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the World Trade Organization (WTO), effectively increased their influence.

2022 Was the Year the COVID Mandates Collapsed. Let 2023 Be the Year of Reckoning.

Looking back over the course of 2022, it’s hard to believe just how rapidly the world has changed. At the start of year, most liberal cities and countries were still enforcing draconian vaccine pass systems. Some of the most fanatical governments, such as those in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, were still imposing strict lockdowns and movement restrictions. Mask mandates were ubiquitous. Countless thousands of protesters were pouring out into the streets on an almost daily basis in cities across Europe, Australia, Canada, and elsewhere to demand an end to the ceaseless insanity.
