Structural Transformations in International Relations in the Mid-2020s

SCO Summit that took place in China on 31 August – 1 September 2025 was really a remarkable event for future SCO development, and for the formation of the new world order. The idea of the global Eurasian center was introduced as a strategic goal for SCO country-members, and first of all for China and Russia. The hypothesis is the following: in 2020s it was becoming evident that the United States could not be considered an indisputable full superpower. However American ruling elite keeps adherence to hegemonic ideology based on the ideas of global domination and superiority (chosen nation ideology). As a result, US strategy has become arrogant aimed to stop this process of decline and to multiply its wealth. There are a lot of urgent problems in the American society but their solution is hardly possible in the near future. Traditionally American government tries to switch public attention to international and foreign policy problems. America has started a new phase of its struggle for liberal world order, and its policy has been becoming more and more irresponsible and uncompromised. Formation of the Eurasian global center alternative to Western center of power should be viewed as a key task for Russia and China. It is important to unite efforts for consolidation of the Eurasian center attracting all the countries who support the conception of peaceful world development and establishment of world order that will give equal opportunities and favorable conditions for all countries.
