World politics, globalization and the crisis

In the early 21st century, globalization and the world economic crisis changed the balance of powers between the old (declining) and new (emerging) industrial states replacing the unilateral with a multilateral system of international relations and changing the way in which world politics was functioning. Globalization has increased the number of transnational problems (protection of human environment, international traffic and communications, flows of capital, energy, migrations, etc.) that require global governance. However, these trends also indicate that in the 21st century, international relations and world politics will function in a significantly different manner than they did within the bipolar and unipolar order, which characterized the second half of the 20th century. Globalizacija i svetska ekonomska kriza pocetkom XXI veka su doveli su do promene odnosa snaga izmedju starih (declining powers) i novih industrijskih sila (emerging powers), jacanja multilateralizma u medjunarodnim odnosima ali i do promene nacina kako oni funkcionisu. Globalizacija je povecala i broj transnacionalnih problema (zastita zivotne sredine, medjunarodni saobracaj i komunikacije, tokovi kapitala, energije, migracija i sl.) koji nalazu medjunarodno angazovanje i ono sto se oznacava kao ?globalno upravljanje? (global governance). Ovi trendovi, medjutim, govore i da ce medjunarodni odnosi i svetska politika u XXI veku funkcionisati na nacin koji ce se znacajno razlikovati od bipolarnog i unipolarnog poretka koji su obelezili drugu polovinu XX veka.
