Europe's role in global order erosion reveals systemic failures of post-1945 power structures

The erosion of the global order stems from systemic failures in post-1945 power structures, where Europe's historical dominance and current geopolitical actions contribute to fragmentation. The crisis reflects deeper issues of economic coercion, military confrontation, and the lack of inclusive governance models. Addressing this requires rethinking power dynamics beyond Western-centric frameworks.
