In the bipolar world order, the two global superpowers greatly benefited from competing from the other and there not being any countries competing against them. With a new world order there is less security from great powers and emerging powers without two clear hegemonic powers. And so, there is less security felt from other countries who do not have a power to assist them leading to a higher possibility of conflicts especially in unstable regions

The author's perspective is that Russia seeks to become a global power but has a number of obstacles. At the end of the cold war left Russia with not the same status as a world power like the Soviet Union was. To gain the status as a global superpower once again countries have to rely on their own resources and advantages for hegemony. Being naive with other global powers can bring down the status that they are building up. But the author questions its overall power such as military capabilities and how it can counter threats from the middle east, central and south Asia how they can compete with other great powers to gain influence near its borders.
