Alternative Centres of Power
NCERT Class 12 Political Science, Contemporary World Politics, Chapter 2 follows the rise of alternative centres after the Cold War, beginning with European integration from the Marshall Plan to the European Union and its common currency and policies. It then turns to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and China's dramatic economic rise, alongside India's growing engagement with both. The chapter closes by weighing whether these centres can balance dominant powers in trade, technology and regional influence.
