Under the ruins of World War II (WWII), a new world order was beginning to appear. The old and weak European powers, devastated by war, could no longer support the world on their shoulders. Subsequently new superpowers had to take control; they were the USSR and the USA. Soon after the end of World War II, new international tensions became evident following the breakdown of the Grand Alliance (Taylor, 1993, p. 49).

Ideological warfare was underlined by a geopolitical transition, subsequently creating the bipolar world of the Cold War (Ibid). Although the Cold War, believed to be the most stable of the world's geopolitical orders, over its course gave rise to “a variety of international relations within a single model” (Ibid). Therefore, one wonders whether the geopolitics of the Cold War were adequately summarized in the term “Bipolar World Order”. With the “relative decline” of the superpowers in the late 1960s, ruptures within the single model began to materialize (Ibid, p.55). The beginning of Détente was marked by the progressive acquisition of political significance by the Third World, but not only. In addition to this, other states such as China, Japan and the European Community have started to emerge under the blanket of the global duopoly.
