This book outlines a spectrum of risks and threats confronting humanity since the inception of the Russo-Ukrainian war. As the conflict intensifies, the global community closely monitors developments in Ukraine with growing apprehension. A primary concern stemming from the Russian invasion is the heightened risk of environmental disasters. International organizations express profound worry that this war may trigger various environmental and ecological catastrophes. A pressing question emerges: Could the Chernobyl tragedy be replicated, and is there a potential for another nuclear accident in Ukraine? The ongoing conflict raises the stakes for such a recurrence, especially considering the repeated bombings of nuclear power plants since the invasion. A notable example is the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, ten times more powerful than Chernobyl. The core objective of this book is to foster awareness of the threats and risks facing humanity since the onset of the Russo-Ukrainian war.

This textbook provides up-to-date information on the evolution and formation of the contemporary international system. It is designed to be of use to students studying international relations and politics, as well as general readers with an interest in the subject. We live in an era when the international system is changing very rapidly, and the rivalry between the great powers is intensifying. There is intense competition among the great powers to change the balance of power in the anarchic international system in their favor. Next generations will see soon if Washington will manage to preserve the liberal international order. The main argument of this book is that neither China, nor Russia, with its limited military capacity and growing domestic woes, cannot destroy the liberal international order and create an alternative world order in the foreseeable future.
