Paradigm Shifting: 1941 is falling...

"Whenever there forms a Babylon, it must fall", this statement seems to be a simple message carrier but the metaphorical message behind it is crystal clear, " whenever something reaches its crux, it must fall". In our present time frame, the most developed place in the world is the Western world. The dominance of the west over all the aspects of development reflects this fact: newly developed technologies, weapons, development models, strategies, economic power, soft and hard powers etc.

Tracing back to the starting point, we have to turn the pages back to the times of World War. With the dark clouds looming over the head of the European continent, the future was indecisive when will the war hold? When will there be the restoration of peace again? Or are these, the last days? The answer was lost in the silence of leaders. Breaking this silence riding the rescue horse with the answers, On 14 August 1941, The U.S.A makes its avenue towards the battlefield promulgating the " Atlantic Charter". The answer to all the doubts was the Charter. The charter contained the world order, how will be the world after the war? Every aspect: political, economic, social, and cultural were addressed by the charter.

On the other hand, when we see the governance system prevailing at that time, The USSR embraced communism while the rescuers were on the other edge adopting the norms of capitalism, and they were worried about the spreading of communism.

So, it is said that to rein the outspread of communism, one point was included as " freedom of self-determination"

If we retrospect everything, from today's spectacles, did they follow the words that were enshrined? The winning parties started a rivalry race against each other. This, we saw a long cold war after it. The cold war was the result of influencing other coup tries by The USSR and The USA. They want to create a group of the country following the same system of governance they want. Due to this, we saw a brutal cold war in Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Cuba and Germany.

They signed an agreement for freedom of self-determination but when bigger powers' interests were imbued the world turned into a globe of erupting volcanos of wars. After the end of the Cold war, people believe to have peace, but unfortunately, the world started to see a proxy war. And coming to the present day, both the rivals Russian and The USA are intervening in the land of Ukraine. The world's breadbasket Ukraine's conflict with Russia is giving us a clear message of food scarcity, and oil price crisis in the coming days Which will trigger an economic crisis all over the globe. Whom to blame? Isn't it a failure of the phrase, free for self-determination? What happened to it?

In addition to this issue, the UN, which was born from the Atlantic Charter, what's its role? To maintain peace and order around the world. People always criticise its working process. And the 102 prolonged Ukraine-Russia is a mere reason to conclude that the UN failed. Smaller countries always raise their voice of influence on decision making. This end in silence or some promising sentences of some resolution. Now, the world doesn't have any faith in The UN.

Also, the economic institutions which were an outlet of the same charter World Bank, IMF and WTO work under the influence of the well-developed countries. They decide the working mechanism.

Seeing this when Sri Lanka tried to get out of the system and depend upon the bilateral agreements for FDI, what happened? It went bankrupt. The world never answered why Sri Lanka eq ant the exit? Our media was busy forecasting the reason for China's debt. It was only 10% of total debt. And the rumour was as if around 90% were from China.

World Bank and IMF loans though come with fewer interest rates and bring entailed strings with them. When we study the strings, clearly it will be written to maintain the democratic norms and values. And WTO always stands against the subsidies provided by the government to its poor people. They want a free market. This again is the norm for open government

These institutions had become the tools for planting the seeds of bigger power interest in poor, underdeveloped, developing countries.

The western world is fully awarded of the fact that now the world is searching for new world order and people are openly making statements about the new order. The rise of China (a communist country), fail strategy to punish Russia with a swift system, people's growing sentiments tilting towards China and Russia, the invention of cryptocurrencies, new evolutions in social networks etc are making a vivid reflection of the falling of the world order that was built in 1941.

And to avoid the downfall, the western world issued a new document named," The new Atlantic charter" on 10 June 2021.

Everybody knows, that the paradigm is shifting toward a new order. How would be that? I'll it be as of the new Atlantic charter? or as the Putin dreamland? Or will it tilt to China's policy? No one knows. The only clear message that one can make is that 1941 is falling...
