A postbipolar system is just emerging; no one can be sure how it will work or if it will last. Its main features seem to be the breakub of the old bipolar blocs into several blocs, what is called multibipolarity. there are at least two additions to the superpowers, the Eurupean Community and a Japanese-led Pacific Rim. east Eurupeans don't obey Russia, and West Europeans and Japanese no longer automatically accept American leadership.Instead of military confrontation, economic growth becomes an obsession as countries strive to hold down unemployment, develop a trade advantage, and move ahead technologically.
