In the era of globalization, people talk about the end of history. However, we see the beginning of new times: as power moves from west to east and from the palaces to the streets, the world has become less predictable as well as more integrated with complex dynamics of the geopolitical players. International Relations seem to be transforming into Intersocial Relations.
