Global power dynamics in the multipolar era have undergone significant transformation along with the emergence of new powers on the international stage. In this context, several countries, such as China and India, have emerged as key players challenging US and European dominance. As their economic and military power increases, global power structures are shifting, creating new challenges and opportunities for countries around the world. One of the main characteristics of the multipolar era is the growth of security and economic organizations outside the Western tradition. For example, ASEAN and BRICS play an important role in creating alliances that are not only regional but also global. BRICS, consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, seeks to create an alternative to Western-dominated financial institutions such as the IMF and World Bank. This approach provides space for developing countries to play a greater role in determining global policy. Another significant phenomenon is the development of information technology which enables the diffusion of power. Countries can now leverage social media and digital platforms to influence global public opinion. Digital propaganda has become a strategic tool, influencing narratives and international diplomacy. For example, China uses these platforms to promote its Belt and Road Initiative, inviting other countries to participate in projects aimed at strengthening infrastructure and connectivity. In addition, climate change has created an urgent need for international collaboration. Countries can no longer operate in silos; Global challenges require a collective approach. The UN Climate Change Conference (COP) became an arena where countries negotiated and sought solutions, showing that in many cases, national interests must be aligned with global responsibilities. These changes also carry the risk of increasing tensions. With the emergence of rivalries between great powers, especially between the US and China, conflicts in various fields, from trade to technology, are becoming increasingly likely. This uncertainty poses challenges to global security and economic stability. The victims of these tensions are often small states caught between great powers and experiencing the impact of political decisions over which they have no control. At the domestic level, countries began to respond to these changes by shifting the focus of their foreign policies. For example, Southeast Asian countries are exploring relations with China and India while trying to maintain strong ties with the US. Countries like Indonesia play an important role in mediating between these powers, showing that diplomacy is a vital tool in the multipolar era. In closing, global power dynamics in the multipolar era continue to develop. With the emergence of new powers, challenges to the status quo, and the need for international collaboration becoming increasingly urgent, the future of the international system will depend largely on the ability of states to adapt to these new realities. Dialogue, diplomacy and cooperation are key in managing the complexity of rapidly growing global powers.
