Summary/Abstract: How will international relations evolve and how is going to be shaped the new power structure in the 21st century has been and still is a constant concern of those working or studying foreign affairs. The evolution of the world after the Cold War and the events following this moment seemed to prefigure a century of American domination. New threats to international security, economic crisis and the extraordinary development of emerging markets have shattered the idea of a unipolar world causing a „predictions” race about who will dominate the first century of the new millennium. In this scenario we should put countries such as China, India, Russia or Brazil, as well as organisations like European Union in a key position. To these actors we should add phenomena developed centuries ago, that have reached now an unprecedented development: terrorism, religious wars, the struggle for resources etc.
