Abstract: Abstract The end of the Cold War and the collapse of communism were two major developments that contributed to moving the world toward a new transitional period. They created a fluid, largely unstable state of political, social, economic, security, and cultural affairs, causing the old balance of power to end. Chester A. Crocker wrote in 1992 that the “historic changes since 1989 have profoundly destabilized the previously existing [world] order without replacing it with any recognizable or legitimate system. New vacuums are setting off new conflicts. The result of this is a global law-and-order deficit that is straining the capacity of existing and emerging security institutions:”1
