Current global political dynamics are influenced by a number of complex international tensions. Conflicts between major powers such as the United States and China, as well as tensions in the Middle East region, influence foreign policy and relations between countries. In this context, it is important to understand the factors that create global instability. The main problem that arises is geopolitical competition between large countries. The US and China are engaged in a race for influence in the Asia-Pacific. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the international response, including economic sanctions, deepened tensions between the West and Russia, creating a domino effect that affected security relations in the European region. In the Middle East, tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia, as well as the ongoing conflict in Syria and Yemen, are the focus of world attention. These tensions not only affect regional stability but also impact global energy prices. Sanctions against Iran result in fluctuations in world oil supplies, increasing market vulnerability. In the context of diplomacy, international organizations such as the UN try to reduce tensions through negotiation and conflict resolution. However, its effectiveness is often hampered by vetoes from permanent member states involved in the tension. Multilateral diplomacy, such as in G7 meetings, also presents challenges, because consensus is difficult to achieve amidst differences in interests. Globalization also plays a role in these political dynamics. Economic interdependence between countries creates complicated relationships. When one country experiences a crisis, the impact can be felt globally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic shows how instability in one region can impact international supply chains. Social media and information technology accelerate the dissemination of information and influence public opinion. Social movements that emerge in response to government policies in one country can quickly spread to other countries, significantly changing domestic political dynamics. In the midst of this tension, technological developments are also in the spotlight. The technological race between the US and China, especially in the fields of AI and 5G, is shaping the global power landscape. Countries must now consider national security and cyber security in designing foreign policy. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the current global political dynamics cannot be separated from existing international tensions. Power imbalances, shifting alliances, and the impact of global crises create complex challenges for international diplomacy and stability. A deep understanding of these elements is key to formulating effective strategies for dealing with future tensions.
