Africa: Trade Is Shaping New Global Power Relations - What This Means for Africa (AllAfrica)
|
|
[The Conversation Africa] Over the past two decades, economic strength, trade flows, technological leadership and even consumer demand have been moving steadily from west to east. This transformation is redrawing economic maps. It is also raising urgent questions about co-operation, competition and inclusion in a multipolar world. Lecturer in economics and finance Arno van Niekerk answers questions about these issues, which he explores in a new book, West to East: A New Global Economy in the Making?...

A US Port In Pakistan Would Complete Its Pro-Western Pivot
Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,
Pakistan has been pivoting towards the West since April 2022's post-modern coup against former multipolar Prime Minister Imran Khan, with this trend accelerating since Trump's return to power and his obsession with punishing India for not subordinating itself as the US' largest-ever vassal state.
Their rapid rapprochement aims to geostrategically reshape South Asia via the revival of their Old Cold War-era partnership, which would advance US interests by greatly decelerating regional multipolar processes.
To that end, Pakistan is suspected of facilitating the flow of foreign terrorists into Afghanistan as anti-Taliban proxies per what can be intuited by Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergey Shoigu in his article from late August that was analyzed here last month. In parallel, Trump's recently reaffirmed goal of returning US troops to Afghanistan's Bagram Airbase c...

Dugin: War Is Ahead Of Us
Authored by Alexander Dugin via Arktosjournalcom,
The new multipolar world order is not set in stone and is unlikely to be peacefully accepted, but rather is bound to be shaped through escalated conflict, recalling how historic shifts are decided through the unpredictable unfolding of war.
A shift in world order usually occurs through war. Very rarely are those who wield global power willing to relinquish it voluntarily. They hold on until the very end, until they are destroyed and reduced to ruins. The same is undoubtedly true today.
Different twists and turns happen in history, of course. Therefore, one could only hypothetically expect, hope, or at least wish that Western leaders will voluntarily relinquish their hegemony. But something tells me that this is unlikely to happen. And if it does not happen, then there will be war. This war is already underway: the war in Ukraine, the wars in the Middle East. But it is not yet in full force. So far, it is only a harbing...

The Rise Of A Multipolar World Order: The West Just Watched The World Shift In Tianjin (ZeroHedge)

The Rise Of A Multipolar World Order: The West Just Watched The World Shift In Tianjin
Authored by Prof. Ruel F. Pepa via GlobalResearch.ca,
At the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, leaders representing over half of humanity signaled the rise of a multipolar world order. As China, Russia, India, and Central Asia push new financial and trade systems, the West risks being left on the sidelines.
When the leaders of China, Russia, India, and several Central Asian states gathered in Tianjin last week for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit, the world should have paid far closer attention. Collectively, the countries represented at the table account for more than half of humanity, command immense reserves of natural resources, and increasingly drive a larger share of global GDP. This is not a peripheral coalition but a core pillar of the international system in the making.
Yet much of the Western press treated the gathering as little more than a dipl...

Escobar: The Tianjin Show - Let's Dance To The Multipolar Groove
Authored by Pepe Escobar,
Oh, what a show that was. A pan-Asia, pan-Eurasia, crossover Global South ball, with glittering dynamo Tianjin as backdrop, enjoyed as such by the overwhelming majority of the planet, while predictably generating cascades of sour grapes among the fragmented West – from the omnipotent Empire of Chaos to The Coalition of the Toothless Chihuahuas.
History will register that as much as BRICS finally stepped into the limelight at the summit in Kazan in 2024, the SCO replicated the move at the summit in Tianjin in 2025.
Among a feast of highlights – hard to top Putin and Modi walking hand in hand – this was of course M.C. Xi's ball. The original RIC (Russia, India, China), as conceptualized by the Great Primakov in the late 1990s, were finally back in the game, together.
But it was Xi who personally set the main guidelines – proposing no less than a broad, new Global Governance model, complete with i...

Isolation, They Said: Xi Embraces Putin & Modi In Major China Summit - Trump Responds
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin, held from August 31 to September 1, was clearly an economic 'show of force' aimed at the West, which included the typical formal greetings and speeches, and group photos - but also with some not so subtle messaging.
Amid the chummy atmosphere which saw Presidents Xi, Modi, and Putin share hugs, handshakes, and warm moments filled with laughter, it is intent on signaling to the world a major shift away from US-led global dominance and toward a multipolar world increasingly shaped by Asia, Eurasia, and the Global South, also coming at a moment Washington is threatening severe secondary sanctions on any nation doing business with Russia.

What Just Happened In Rio Should Terrify The West
Authored by Farhad Ibragimov,
A few days ago, the city of Rio de Janeiro hosted the 17th BRICS summit, marking a significant step forward for the organization amid the accelerating transformation of the global political and economic landscape. Represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Russia played an active role in the summit's proceedings, while President Vladimir Putin addressed the plenary session via video link. In his remarks, the Russian leader offered a comprehensive analysis of current global trends, emphasizing that the liberal model of globalization is losing viability as the center of economic and political activity shifts decisively toward the Global South – developing countries with rising demographic, resource, and technological potential.
The Rio summit reaffirmed BRICS' growing political weight and its ambition to become a key force in shaping the emerging multipolar order. High-level meetings drew global attention not...

Peace In Ukraine Won't End The West's Hybrid War On Russia
Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,
Their refined Hybrid War model will involve efforts to win the “tech race”, a new Western division of labor for containing Russia in Europe, and AI-generated anti-Russian infowars.
Russia's natural resource wealth and new role in accelerating multipolar processes incentivize the West to continue its Hybrid War on Russia even in the event of peace in Ukraine. The US' neoconservative policymaking faction and the EU's liberal-globalists (essentially one and the same at this point) continue to perceive Russia as an enduring rival to contain and ideally dismember.
That's why they're expected to refine their ongoing Hybrid War on Russia in the coming future through the following three means.
The first involves their efforts to win the “tech race”, specifically in terms of AI and the Internet of Things, which they envisage will enable them to lead the “Fourth Industrial Revoluti...
