Can multipolarity actually deliver the peace our world so desperately seeks?

The Million-Dollar Question: Can multipolarity actually deliver the peace our world so desperately seeks, or are we just destined to swap one hegemon for another?

In the latest episode of “The Sanchez Effect,” Rick assembles a dynamic panel of experts to tackle this question.

Taha Özhan, Research Director at the Ankara Institute, says that as multipolarity appears increasingly inevitable, the US seems to be retreating into isolationism. While it can afford to go it alone, other nations – particularly in Europe – may not share that luxury.

Radhika Desai, Professor at the University of Manitoba and Director of the Geopolitical Economy Research Group, says multipolarity isn’t on the horizon – it’s been here all along. Ironically, this reality may be what obstructs lasting peace, as the US is fighting against the disappointing end of its unipolar dream.

Koffi Kouakou, an Africa Analyst from the University of Johannesburg, cautions that simply labeling the world as multipolar doesn’t guarantee tranquility. After all, could China and Russia merely be vying for the same dominant position held by the US? Rick raises a critical point: Do people really trust Beijing and Moscow more than Washington? For now, the answer seems to be yes, but history shows us that skepticism is warranted – those in power can easily backtrack on their commitments.

What does the future hold? Join us for answers in this thought-provoking episode – only on RT.
