Keywords:
Global Governance, Power Dynamics, International Relations, Globalization, Geopolitical Structures, International Institutions, Contemporary PoliticsAbstract
The global political landscape is shaped by an intricate web of power structures and governance mechanisms that determine the distribution and exercise of authority among states, non-state actors, and international organizations. This paper examines the dynamics of contemporary world politics, analyzing power hierarchies and decision-making frameworks that drive geopolitical and socio-economic transformations. By drawing upon existing literature and empirical evidence, this research highlights the challenges posed by globalization, technological innovation, and evolving geopolitical interests. It provides an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating theories of power distribution, institutional governance, and transnational collaboration. Recommendations for addressing systemic inequities and fostering global cooperation are also discussed.
