However, this current unipolar stability, is being challenged by the “rise of the new powers” which would result in a return to a multi-polar international system. A.

the great powers. These great powers are states that are globally high ranking in terms of military prowess, being economically powerful, has a global spheres of interest, and has a foreign policy that would have an impact on world affairs (Heywood, 2011). As an advocate of offensive realism, John Mearsheimer assumes that because international system is anarchic and there is no central authority to safeguard states from hostilities among themselves, the primary goal of the great powers then is survival

After the victory of the final war, the death of the king came swiftly one month later. The kingdom was torn into half from there on; half the people fighting for another king and the other half accepting the prophecy for a female king. In that war, I was a soldier; in fact I stood at the very front. I was emotionless, my job was to shoot the enemy and that’s what I did. My men died, but
1.0 INTRODUCTION The Charter of the United Nations is the foundational treaty of the newly created intergovernmental organization that emerged from World War II. This international treaty sets out basic principles of international relations. The UN Charter is a relatively short treaty of less than 9,000 words. To some extent, the secret of the UN Charter’s survival has depended on its concise character. Again, the “constitutionalization” of international law is one of the most intensely debated issues

While there is no central authority preventing Malaysia from doing what she wishes, there are numerous platforms available for regular communication and discussion between the two countries to use soft measures to resolve their issues instead of resorting to violence.
