In this scenario, the tectonic plates of the international system are slowly moving in the face of the new, and unprecedented, world that is unfolding. The paradigm shift represented by the Russian intervention in Ukraine consolidates, therefore, the path of a new international system, more fragmented, and where Western power is weakened.
