TRACK 01 - GLOBAL ANARCHY + POLARITY
LOADING BRIEFHow the system behaves without a central authority: unipolar to multipolar drift, balancing patterns, and where hard constraints are tightening.
SERIES 05
World power tracking through a POL208 lens.
This track follows global power competition using core IR frames: anarchy, polarity, balance of power, institutions, and security dilemmas. Every entry stays grounded in actors, constraints, and practical consequences.
Coverage priority: China power projection, Russia war dynamics, US-China strategic competition, regional alignments, and system-level shifts in the global order.
How the system behaves without a central authority: unipolar to multipolar drift, balancing patterns, and where hard constraints are tightening.
Industrial scaling, maritime posture, technology policy, and Belt and Road leverage. Focus on capacity, not narratives.
War sustainability, sanctions adaptation, force regeneration, and alliance responses. Includes second-order effects on Europe and energy systems.
Semiconductors, supply-chain restructuring, export controls, and military signaling. Tracks how competition spills into third regions.
