The advent of COVID-19 and the global lockdown of 2020 allowed us to write an article in which we highlighted that the post-COVID world would remain unknown and uncertain. One thing is certain: we are currently experiencing a transitional phase between the world order established after 1945 and a new, yet undefined global order. This transitional process is always characterized by disorder and chaos, as order emerges from crisis. Donald Trump’s rise to power in the United States exemplifies this transition. The post-1945 world was marked by American hegemony, the dominance of capitalism (championed by the United States) over communism (championed by the USSR), and NATO and the West’s victory at the end of the Cold War. This unipolar world saw democracy, economic freedom, and American culture define the United States’ global dominance.
