Traditional security providers encounter non-traditional threats in the post-crimean era

There is an ongoing debate on the erosion of the post-Cold War international order in academic discourse. This order is based on the ideological sphere of neoliberalism; on the institutional sphere – on institutions established after World War II (the Bretton Woods system, UN, EEC / EU, etc.) adapted to changing conditions; on the military sphere – the domination of the USA and NATO; on the economic sphere – capitalism; on the axiological sphere – domination of Western-centered discourses, creating cat-egories for descriptions and assessments of “reality”, including imaginations such as Jihad vs McWorld, the Eurocentric understanding of the “Orient”, Clash of Civilizations, End of History, Global Village, The Flat World and Tragedy of Great Powers. The list is long, but its lowest common denominator is constituted by the imposition of interpretations of global space by Western intellectuals or intellectuals who operate within paradigms that promote the domination of the West.
