If we broadly look at the existing structure of the twenty-first-century world order, it is evident that global political and economic institutions do not have common goals. The present world order was formed after the end of World War II. America maintained the global order on alliances under the military umbrella and the USSR mostly countered the alliances through alliances or other means and pursued its interest vigorously where needed. Pakistan has paid a heavy price in the global war against terrorism during the last two decades. The new world order must be focused on shared prosperity, cooperation and the well being of all states, not a few rich and powerful states.
