Opinion by Fareed Zakaria: We have wondered for a while what would as the United States’ role as sole superpower ebbed. There are signs that what we are witnessing is a new kind of order, one built on the unity and cooperation of the world’s free nations.
There are lots of problems out there, from Ukraine’s future to inflation to climate change. But the big story is the unity and resolve of the democratic world. That unity is much stronger than at any point during the Cold War, when major schisms between Europe and the United States were commonplace.We have wondered for a while what would happen across the globe as the United States’ role as sole superpower ebbed and it lost the capacity or will to be the world’s policeman.
Many predicted that we would see a return to anarchy or the law of the jungle, in which authoritarian states would ensure that might makes right. But there are encouraging signs that what we are actually witnessing is a new kind of order built on the unity and cooperation of the world’s free nations. To be sure, coalitions of the free are always messy and contentious: Their unity will have to stand, their cooperation will have to grow.
