The beginning of XXI century was marked by few events that had influence on international relations in the whole world. Terror attacks in the United States of America in September 11, 2001, were the first such high a big range attacks against the USA. It had shown that the USA – the most powerful state of the world – is vulnerable to more danger, than nuclear weapons alone. After September 11 the USA started war against terrorism in Afghanistan, and many states supported it. However, in spring 2003 the USA unilaterally, without international support, decided to use military power in Iraq, arguing that Iraq possessed potential threat – weapons of mass destruction. Unilateralism, and military and technological differences between the USA and its allies have brought to light a presumption that in the international system there is a single pole, a superpower (hyperpower), the United States of America. The existence of one pole only can have different consequences on international system and international security. The aim of this article was to determine specific features of the unipolar world, influence of polarity of international system upon international security, and specific threats to security that emerge only in unipolar international systems. Another aim was to try to predict the end of the unipolar system: what could be the next poles and when could it come to the end. After analysing a number of articles concerning this topic, few conclusions were drawn. Contemporary international system is unipolar and the single pole is the USA; the USA is superior in military, economic, geopolitical, and political spheres at the same time. Increasing military power and unilateralism of the USA may be treated as a threat to international security. Great powers are trying to balance unipolar power, however, the creation of balance to unipolar power is complicated for several reasons.[.].

After the end of the Cold war the unipolar international system was established and during recent decade it was transformated from strickt unipolarity (1990-2000) to modified unipolarity (2001-2010). Exceptional and multidimensional power with the global reach of the USA was the reason for naming structure of international system as strict unipolar till terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the USA. After September 11th the USA started to act less unilaterally than before temporary changing the unilateralism to multilateralism for collective actions against terrorism in Afghanistan. The multilateral response to September 11th terrorist attacks became the first stage of transformation of strict unipolarity based on Article 5 of Washington Treaty. Years of 2001-2003 could be named as the beginning of modified unipolarity: sole superpower acted multilaterally in war against terrorism and at the same time it promoted the enlargement of its influence with NATO enlargement to the post soviet area. Formation of transformed unipolar structure allows speaking about the necessity of defining a new type of unipolarity – modified unipolarity which is theoretically balancing on the dividing lines of unipolarity, multipolarity and nonpolarity concepts. This article consists of broad definition of modified unipolarity, theoretical analysis of polarity and its transformation, also, some preliminary conclusions and insights are made concerning possible transformation of modified unipolarity in the foreseen future.

Westfalya Barış Antlaşmaları ile başlayan modern uluslararası ilişkilerde uluslararası sistemin yapısında, temel özelliklerinde ve aktör sayısında çeşitli dönemlerde farklı değişimler yaşanmıştır. Özellikle Post Westfalyan dönemin başlarında uluslararası sistemde ABD'nin siyasi, askeri ve ekonomik anlamda hegemon olduğu bir döneme şahit olmaktayız. Bu dönemde uluslararası sistemde yeni risk ve tehditleri içeren birtakım dinamikler görülmekte ve değişen güvenlik algısına paralel olarak da çeşitli dönüşümler yaşanmaktadır. Aynı şekilde diplomasi anlamında da farklı uygulamaların yaşandığı bir döneme girilmektedir. Çalışmada, Richard Rosecrance'nin uluslararası sistem tanımlamasında siyasi elitlerin ve yöneticilerin iç politikada karar alma mekanizmasındaki rolünden hareketle, Soğuk Savaş'ın hemen sonrasındaki dönemde uluslararası sistemin yapısı ve özelliklerine değinilmiştir. Bunun yanında devletlerin iç politikadaki ekonomik yapısının uluslararası sistemdeki politikalar üzerindeki rolü incelenmiştir. Ayrıca ABD'ye karşı gerçekleştirilen 11 Eylül 2001 Saldırıları sonrası yaşanan Post Westfalyan dönemde ABD önderliğinde diğer aktörlerin de katılımıyla oluşan uluslararası sistemin yapısında ve özelliklerinde ne gibi değişim ve dönüşümlerin yaşandığı ve bu durumun 2000'li yıllara nasıl yansıdığı analiz edilmiştir. ; In the modern international relations starting with Westphalian Peace Treaties, the different changes occured in the structure main features and actor number of international system in different period. Particularly, in the early of Post Westphalian era, we have witnessed the period that in the international system USA has been hegemonic in the military, politic and economic sense. In this phase in the international system several dynamic faced involving new risks, threats and several transformations occured correspondingly changing security perception. Similarly, different practices occured in the meaning of diplomacy in this phase. At this study, act on role decision making mechanism in the internal politics of the political elites and managers in the Richard Rosecrance's international system definition has touched upon the structure and characteristics of the international system in the post-Cold War era. In addition, the role of states's internal economic policy on policies in the international system has been examined. It was analyzed what sort change and transformation in the structure and features of international system has experienced with the participation of other actors in the leadership of USA and how this situation was reflected in 2000s.

Uluslararası Sistem, Soğuk Savaş'ın sona ermesi ve Sovyet Sosyalist Cumhuriyetler Birliği'nin (SSCB) çöküşü gibi olaylar neticesinde bazı değişimlere uğramıştır. Bu değişimler kapsamında Yugoslavya'da iç karışıklıklar çıkmış ve Yugoslavya parçalanmıştır. Bu gelişme uluslararası sistem ve uluslararası politika üzerinde bazı etkiler ortaya çıkarmıştır. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nin (ABD) özellikle SSCB'nin çöküşünün ardından yeni bir düzen oluşturma adına sürdürdüğü faaliyetler, Avrupa Topluluğu'nun savunma ve güvenlik açısından ortak bir yapı kurma girişimleri, Kuzey Atlantik Antlaşması Organizasyonu (NATO) ve Birleşmiş Milletler (BM) benzeri uluslararası kuruluşların izledikleri politikaların uluslararası sistem kadar Yugoslavya'nın parçalanma sürecinde de etkili olduğunu ifade etmek mümkündür. Yugoslavya'da tarihsel süreç içerisinde problem yaşayan etnik grupların beraber yaşamak durumunda kalmaları, bunlar arasındaki problemlerin devam etmesi dağılma sürecini hızlandırmıştır. Bununla birlikte iktisadi açıdan bölgeler arasındaki gelişmişlik farkları, etnik gruplar arasındaki problemlerin daha da büyümesine neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Yugoslavya'nın parçalanmasının uluslararası sistem ve politika üzerindeki etkilerinin anlaşılmasıdır. Bu bağlamda uluslararası sistem ile Konstrüktivist yaklaşımlar da bu konuyla ilgili olarak ele alınmıştır. ; The international system has undergone some change sdueto the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the USSR. In the context of the sechanges, the rehave been some internal turmoil in Yugoslavia and Yugoslavia has been fragmented as a result of the sein ternalturmoil. This fragmentation has had some impact on the international system and international policy. The United States of America (USA), in particular, following the collapse of the USSR in order toestablish a new order of activities, the European Community to create a common structure in terms of defense and security, NATO and United Nations international organizations, such as the policies followed by the international system. It is also possible to say that Yugoslavia is effective in the process of disintegration. The fact that ethnic groups living in Yugoslavia who have problems in the historical process live to gether and the problems between the seethnic groups continue to accelerate the process of disintegration. On the other hand, the differences in economic development between regions have caused problems between ethnic groups to groweven more. The aim of this study is tounderstand the impact of the disintegration of Yugoslavia on the international system and policy. In this context, the international system and the Constructivist approachesare discussed in this respect. As a result of the evaluations, it is expected tounderstand the effects of the global changes in Yugoslavia.
