Brazilian Case

In the last years of the twentieth century, after the end of the Cold War, the world has evolved into a mixed structure, which preserves the characteristics of unipolarity at the same time that approaches to a multipolar world in some ways. In an international reality marked by its fluid nature, the emergence of new actors and the so-called "asymmetric threats" has not eliminated the former agents in the world order. And the conflict between the States has not disappeared from the horizon. In this context, diplomacy must have the permanent support of defense policy. Therefore, in the Brazilian case, the paper presents that the country should adopt a grand strategy that combines foreign policy and defense policy, in which soft power will be enhanced by hard power.

Review of Whose Story? Reporting the Developing World After the Cold War, edited by Jill Spelliscy and Gerald B. Sperling, Calgary, Canada: Detselig Enterprises, 1993. 242 pp. 'I get terribly angry', remarks Daniel Nelson, editor of Gemini News Service, 'when journalists take the phrase, which is completly manufactured, "New World Order"—it's absolutely meaningless. Personally I don't think there is a New World Order. I think we have the same world order, but without the Soviet Union which was never a major part of the world economy. And if you live in Katmandu or Kampala, there is no change.'

Pluralistic World

That the twentieth century witnessed massive secularisation in Europe and certain other parts of the world is beyond dispute, as is the fact that the general phenomenon of religion and its role as a factor shaping history remain potent on a broad, international scale. There is no consensus, however, about the future place or status of Western Christian civilisation or “Christendom” in a shrinking and pluralistic world also struggling with the challenge of reconciliation. During the 1950s two controversial giants of  British historiography, Arnold Toynbee and HR Trevor-Roper clashed on this issue. Their severe differences of opinion were conditioned in part by the Cold War, general retreat of imperialism from Africa and Asia, and the growth of the economic, military, and political power of previously colonised or otherwise subjugated nations.

The article considers the issue of the prospects of globalization, which receives ambiguous and contradictory assessments in the expert community and the mass media. Since negative judgments about the future of globalization are mainly based on assessments of the state of the contemporary economy, the article analyzes the trends in the development of the global economy in the context of the stages of globalization. The changes that took place in the world economy are shown, attention to the growth of its unification and uniformity is paid. It is concluded that by the beginning of the 21th century, the successful globalization processes had reached their peak. Then the recession, associated with the two world wars and the emergence of a bipolar world began. After the end of the cold war, a new rise in globalization begins, a single mechanism of the world economy is being formed. In general, it is concluded that the historical context and recent events in the world do not give grounds to talk about the end of globalization. Today, there is only some slowing down of global processes, after which a new recovery should be expected.

African warlords, reinforcement or undermining of the historical capitalism? With the end of the Cold War, global economic and political changes made African leaders rearrange their patrimonial politics towards warlord strategies. The aim of this paper is to find out what the influences are of these evolutions for the capitalist world-system. Is warlordism nothing more than a way of surviving for third world countries or does it affect historical capitalism? Is the upsurge of warlords an expression of the crisis of the modem world-economy or is it on the contrary capitalism pur sang? This paper does not provide a conclusive answer to these questions. It is only an attempt to consider warlords in the world-system from diverse perspectives.

The Cold War

Despite its manifest heterogeneity—linguistic, ethnic and political—and the significant imbalances between nations, the Caribbean Basin has gradually come to be viewed as a distinctive subregion within the Western Hemisphere. This process began during the Cold War when a number of extraregional actors with interests in the region considered it of strategic importance. As in previous phases of its history, the Caribbean found itself defined geopolitically, not only in terms of its potential for conflict but for its significance to external (North American or European) actors as well (Serbín, 1989 and 1991a).More recently, changes on the international scene (the end of the Cold War and recognition of the increasing interdependence of the world economy) have begun to alter these old perceptions and ways of dealing with the region.

Sudden Collapse

International Monitory System during the Cold War shifted from gold standard to US dollar. Since then global economy depends not only on USA but also its designed financial system. White House controlled the world economy by valuing and devaluing its own green bucks. Other economic powers are unable to break the hegemony of the USD because United States is the major customer of their trade goods as well as it has strict control on paper currencies of other nations. Some of them try to control it by purchasing gold to renew commodity-based standard but they fail to challenge the dollar. IMF approved four other paper currencies, as reserve cash, as an option for the world in case of any misconduct by US regime, but the global trade is not ready to trust any other option. On the other hand digital cash is also introduced to counter paper cash but it is more ambiguous for the world than paper money. The dollar situation since past 10 years is very uncertain and threat of its sudden collapse is possible, yet the world is not ready for it.
