Summary/Abstract: The article offers a brief presentation of the changes in the global distribution of power after the Cold War. The author uses synthetic measures of national power to show that, in a short historical period of accelerated globalization (24 years), profound demographic and economic changes have occurred, which resulted in equally profound changes in the global distribution of power. The position of developing countries has improved, but because the struggle for power is a zero-sum game, the position of the West has weakened.
