Abstract

Unipolarity has been fundamentally flawed due to its being an alteration of the bipolarity of the established and institutionalized central dialectic of two poles representing two contradicting theses. Bipolarity ended when one resigned from its position, outpacing the collapse of the system's infrastructure. This end preserved some fundamental institutions, norms, and practices of bipolarity within the ensuing unipolarity as a flaw next to the unipolar thesis, despite their contradictions, in particular as constituent parts of the individual intersectionality of the USSR's successor. The course of the unipolar era reflected the potential of the actualization of this inner contradiction. This potential was circumvented until 2007 and could be postponed for a time afterward until it became impossible to do so. The war in Ukraine seems to have firmly established the confrontational actualization of the flaw.
