Question
Explain the correlation between the following:
End of cold war − Rise of new states
Solution
-
Dissolution of the USSR and Yugoslavia: The end of the Cold War saw the collapse of major multiethnic states like the USSR and Yugoslavia, resulting in the emergence of several independent republics.
-
Decline of Bipolar Tensions: With the superpower rivalry between the USA and the USSR ending, regional conflicts and suppressed national aspirations gained momentum, allowing various ethnic groups to assert independence.
-
Rise of Nationalism: The diminished influence of superpowers enabled local nationalist movements to flourish, leading to demands for self-determination and statehood.
-
Global Political Realignment: A reconfigured international system became more receptive to recognizing new states, as global institutions adjusted to a multipolar world order.
