Unipolarity vs Multipolarity
Unipolarity
: A new “Rome” implies a dominant power, reinforcing unipolarity (as seen in the U.S. post-Cold War era).
Multipolarity:
Where multiple great powers share influence
Core vs. Periphery

Great (US) vs. Small Power
Controlling vs. Client State
s: A dominant Rome-like power would maintain client states, controlling them via economic policies, military alliances, or political influence (like the U.S. with NATO allies or China’s Belt and Road Initiative)
