OS ESTADOS UNIDOS E A TRANSICAO PARA A MULTIPOLARIDADE: A CRISE NA UCRANIA

In: Relações internacionais: R:I, Volume 45

Abstract

The end of the Cold War gave rise to American unipolarity in the international system. With the rise of new powers such as the Erics, the present distribution of power is gradually being challenged in favor of multipolarity in the international system, while at the same time the US strategy is changing. Bearing in mind the US foreign policy in the Ukrainian crisis, this article argues that the current crisis in Ukraine could represent a milestone in the transition from unipolarity to multipolarity based on revisionist actions by the Russian Federation.
