نظام بين المللي جديد: هژموني چند قطبي ، يا يك چند قطبي

THE NEW INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM:HEGEMONY, MULTIPOLARITY OR UNI

To answer the question of "What impact the Iraqi crisis has had upon the international system", we, first, address the concept of international system, and the logic for itʹs change and present the most important forms of change in the international system with a view to the change in nature, rules and interactions. Then, we discuss the international system before the Iraqi crisis, and present the hopes and concerns created during the 1990s for shifting to unilateral and hegemonic conditions. The third part of the article is devoted to effective characteristics of the Iraqi crisis, and how a powerful state violated the principles and norms of the international law without obtaining the authorization of the sole legitimate authority for taking military action, attacking a sovereign and independent member- though it was a dictator and crisis-breeding itself, hence violating the principles of sovereignty. Finally, it begins to examine the post-crisis international system within the dimensions of structure, power distribution, norms and labor division, arguing that the international system, after the crisis, has found a hegemonically limited characteristic, and that that hegemonic power is going to create substantial transformation by putting the Middle East on the international security agenda (in place of communism in the Post-Cold war). In reality, despite Americaʹs supreme power in military, economic and technological dimensions, the variety of threats, the plurality governing the international relations and the necessity of cooperation by some states to counter the emerging threats causes America to fail to exert itʹs absolute hegemony and, "the international system to remain multi-polar in a few dimensions, though it doesnʹt mean that the international system is absolutely far from being multi-polar.
