Strategies to prevent a third world war
The article discusses how a third world war can be avoided by analyzing the escalating challenges threatening the international system. The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) confirmed that the background of these events indicates increasing dangers from technological and geopolitical crises, with the symbolic clock approaching midnight to its closest point in history. This is happening amid the weakening of international institutions and the growing risk of disparate crises merging into a multi-front global conflict. The article pointed out that current war prospects differ from traditional conflicts and may include cyberattacks, economic wars, and tactical nuclear threats, all occurring amid the deterioration of the global collective security system, which relies on multiple pillars. It also emphasized that the post-1945 global order is facing a sustainability crisis, with weak institutions and eroded legitimacy. The rivalry among great powers is turning toward establishing parallel institutions, increasing the likelihood of miscalculations. Three future scenarios are presented: either reform of the current global system, adaptation to a system of regional dominance, or continued decline, which could lead to a multi-domain global war if conscious decisions are not made to determine the fate of the next system.
