The Arms Race as a Consequence of the Creation of the New World Order

Summary/Abstract: The term international relations dates back to the end of the 18th century. In those relations, other states were also key, although not the only subject. At a certain level of development of international relations, a relatively stable international order is created, which, from a historical point of view, is classified as unipolar, bipolar or multipolar. The aforementioned classification is primarily determined by the relationship of world powers to global international relations. In the competition of world powers for their own positioning in the world order, one of the primary activities was the remaining arms race. The main goal of this paper is to prove that the creation of the latest world order is underway, which results in a new arms race dictated by the world powers, primarily the USA and Russia, and which is transferred to the rest of the world. The arms race is especially evident after Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2022. The basic hypothesis from which the research started is as follows: The arms race is a direct consequence of the creation of a new world order. The first auxiliary hypothesis reads: The arms race is dictated by world powers, primarily the USA, Russia and China. The second auxiliary hypothesis reads: The arms race is particularly evident in the countries of Europe. Scientific methods, primarily comparative, content analysis and case studies, were used in the research to achieve the goal and confirm the stated hypotheses. The results of the diploma thesis of the first-mentioned author were used in the preparation of the paper. The thesis was defended at the Faculty of Business Studies and Law in 2023.
