The One

Contemporary Africa has little to be proud of. Between starvation, political corruption and economic inefficiency on the one hand and political unrest, political delegitimation and increasing refugization of widespread populations on the other, it is little wonder that many are writing off Africa. Some writers have stated emphatically that Africa is “Falling Off the Map.” African problems are many; African solutions seem to be few and far between. In a world where power is being redefined, where the New World Order presents new realities of geopolitic, it is no longer sufficient for Third World nations to play one super-power off against another. Africa is lost.

Vast Territory

The article traces a set of regional images in international legal and diplomatic documents leading to the establishment of the Palestine Mandate (1915–22). The analysis suggests that at that important crossroad, when a new world order was imagined and negotiated, a broad, layered and diverse vision of a comprehensive ‘region’ was actively present in the minds of very different actors within the framework of empire. A vast territory was reconstructed as opening up for new ways of rule and of influence, for enhanced development and for dealing with strictly European globalised issues. That this powerful regional vision has been disregarded because of the weight of the subsequent territorial geopolitics in the Middle East is not surprising. Today, however, when classic international law responses – the state on the one hand and international cooperation on the other – prove weak and unstable, and especially vulnerable to ‘new regional threats’, it may be worthwhile to look back at a period in which the region was still imagined as a place of political possibility.

The Cold War

As the Cold War has receded, it has left behind a world system characterized by two divergent trends. On the one hand, as the two superpowers have withdrawn their security umbrellas, a host of ethnic and territorial conflicts have sprouted around the globe. On the other hand, as former rival blocs now create alliances, international mechanisms for the peaceful resolution of contentious issues have proliferated. A central concern of our times, then, is whether, and under what circumstances, these new mechanisms will be successful in dealing with the disorderly aspects of the new world ‘order’.

The One

Evaluative statements concerning the performance of the international polity diverge dramatically from one another. On the one hand, there are those whose views border on the apocalyptic. They assert that the performance of this political system is imacceptably poor and that the international polity is currently headed toward catastrophe. They are convinced that the existing international political system cannot be reformed, a conclusion that implies the necessity of repudiating the existing system. Therefore, it is not surprising that those who hold such views are prominently associated with calls for a new world order. At the same time, many students of international affairs have views concerning the performance of the international polity which border on the complacent. The adequacy of the performance of this political system is often tacitly assumed. Such views are not uncommon even among those who are active in various reformist movements at the level of domestic politics.

Future Challenges

The concept of creative cities is one of the historically ancient terms that evolve over time, as these cities played an important role as colonies of human civilization. The transformation of the world into a small village as a result of globalization has contributed to the ease of creative migration and human communication at all levels, whether through the internet, ease of travel, or ease of transporting goods. Technology has been the basis of the fourth industrial revolution and informational openness through the internet and then artificial intelligence. Actually, these elements developed the classic concept of creative cities, their economics, and their ability to face future challenges in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development. 2030 SDGs have been launched by the United Nations with the aim of protecting human life and saving the planet through development which is achieved on three axes (economic, social, and environmental) due to the inability of the classical economy to achieve these goals in the formation of a new world order.

The One

In 2013, the Chinese leadership announced the One Belt, One Road initiative as a strategic construct of Chinese peripheral influence and regional integration. As a growing major power, China needs to take the initiative to go beyond its responsibility as a “developing nation”. While China and the United States share many common interests and are highly interdependent, a new world order is viable only with the cooperation of China and the United States.

Mixed Blessing

The post-cold war era has been a mixed blessing for the "new world order". On the one hand, there is increasing interest in social, ecological, gender and moral issuesfacing the world; on the other hand, nationalism and politicized religion have dominated the central stage of public discourse.
