Immagine
  P olitically , the collapse of the canopy in Novi Sad on 1 November 2024 served as a catalyst for debate over the accountability of both local and national authorities. The opposition sought to exploit the incident as evidence of government inefficiency and the opacity of the public procurement system, even pushing for early elections. Meanwhile, the ruling establishment sought to downplay the political implications of the accident, stressing instead “ individual errors ”. This once again underscored the deep-rooted mistrust between citizens and institutions, deepened further by the absence of clear and timely responses. Socially , the accident underscored a sense of insecurity and vulnerability among citizens in their daily lives in Serbia and the wider region.

  W ith global international relations in great flux for the last decade, the emerging world order is finally taking nebulous yet substantive shape through the ongoing U.S.-Russia truce talks on the War in Ukraine and through the related international diplomacy. Modern international history shows that a marked shift in international distribution of power often causes a hegemonic war or a great war, resetting a world order according to which countries win or lose a war or according to their relative military superiority and inferiority at the time of truce talks. This applies well to the current U.S.-Russia global confrontation that includes the protracted warfare in Ukraine, while politically dividing the rest of the world between the two, now in favor of Russia. This essay will discuss major important features of the evolving world order and their central implications to world politics.   1. The features of the truce talks  O n February 18, U.S. and Russian negotiation t...
