There is no point in calling the world unipolar. There has not been a single phase in history when there is no multi-polar system in the world. In every era of history, there has been a multi-polar system in the world. The context in which we are currently calling the world unipolar is very new and in a way it is a well-crafted superficial concept whose determinant is America. This concept is related to the false propaganda of the capitalist countries, mainly America, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, in which it said that socialism has ceased from the world and only capitalism remains in this world. Fukuyama also establishes the thesis, declaring the worldwide conquest of capitalism, which was nothing more than the idea of an ideological insolvency. At the center of this idea that the ambition of establishing a dominance was emerging, it contained that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union there was only one superpower left and that is America. Therefore, the world has become unipolar. In this whole exercise, there are two fundamental meanings of unipolarity, first that the capitalist system in the whole world and the American domination over the whole world. But this idea ‘West’ is mainly the fabrication of America in which capitalism and America’s aspirations may be there but on the ground of reality this concept seems to be collapsed. Because many centers of power have emerged in the contemporary world system and especially the Covid-19 global pandemic has completely destroyed the unipolar world and American domination. The struggle for power among states is at its peak which I always call the Morganthau Plan once again.
