What is happening in Ukraine and between Russia and the West more broadly, however, is only one piece of a much wider process that precipitates a change in the world order—away from the post-Cold War U.S. global hegemony and the five centuries-long Western dominance in world affairs. In the United States, that global geopolitical turbulence was dubbed, under President Donald Trump, great-power competition; ...
