2. INTRODUCTION

each other’s states’ development.
There’s a lot of possibilities in depending on each
other’s efforts, skills, knowledge and expertise other
than competition.
The United Nations(UN) aids states to maintain
peace and security and the performance of its
activities is under the leadership of the Secretary

purposes of this international organization which
among them are;
o to maintain peace and security

centre for harmonizing actions of governments.
o If I had an opportunity , this is what I would demand

achieved with integration.
4. POTENTIAL OUTCOMES FROM
A DEPENDENT MULTIPOLAR
WORLD
Balance of power
Decisions are made based on strategic reasoning and
not necessarily ideological or historic reasons.
Trade opportunities
Both developing and developed states will benefit as
they will know what, when and how to export their
goods and services.
Spread of high technologies
As different states interact regardless of the regional
borders, knowledge, skills and expertise will flow.
5. POTENTIAL OUTCOMES
CONT….
Poverty reduction
The gap between the rich states and poor nations will be
narrowed because of the economic, technologic and political
interaction of states.
Minor conflict cases
The assumption is that there will be cooperation among
states because of their interaction in different sectors and
fields.
Hence an opportunity to easily resolve or point out their threats
to each other for the sake of maintaining their relationship.

11. THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE
BODIES
The involvement of states in ensuring effective use of the
instruments in a multipolar world, should not be a
hindrance for the international body to take control.
The continental bodies should consult and allow fully
participation of its Sub-regional groupings before its final
decisions.
Most importantly, the international body should be
organized in a way that represents all the continents
regardless of how poor the continent is.
With respect to the multicultural world, it is important for
the international body to focus on the general
instruments that should incorporate most continental
bodies’ decisions.
12. CONCLUSION
International peace and security is vital for the
world’s development.
It is only through cooperation between and
among states, continental bodies, where the
greatest good for most people can be achieved.
The UN being a representative of almost every
state should refrain from being manipulated by
stronger states’ ideologies.
