Answer:
The dissolution of the Soviet Union marked the end of bipolar order in international relations. At the moment when the fall of bipolarism, the situation in international relations is very specific. For the first time in recent history, a major power has a primacy in military, economic and political terms, of course we are talking about the United States. On the other hand, we have crippled Russia, which does not actually pose a threat to anyone, and we also have a "third bloc" made up of regional powers (China, India), while other countries play a marginal role (of course, by the term marginal role I mean the power to influence formation of the new world order). Such a constellation of forces at the helm of the US was greeted by Arkansas jurist and saxophonist Bill Clinton.
Explanation:
- Clinton and his administration made a number of mistakes in foreign policy, especially in relation to the former leader of the opposing bloc, Russia. Clinton's liberal approach certainly did not help stabilize international political relations.
- His attitude towards Russia seemed to be based on a fear that was constantly masked by economic interest. Namely, we will not finish Russia militarily or politically, but will make it a market. Applying the concept, Clinton expected that over time he would be able to carry out his hypocritical doctrine of supporting and expanding democracy in the East.
- The moment that best embodies Clinton's intentions came in 1994 when he and Yeltsin signed a strategic partnership document in Moscow. As is well known in international relations theory, such a document is signed by two or more forces that are approximately equal in strength to prevent interference.
