Abstract
This monograph examines the Gulf War and its link to the so-called “New World Order.” It analyzes how the war reshaped global power relations, legitimized UN-led interventions, and reinforced US dominance. The study highlights implications for the developing world, particularly in terms of economic vulnerabilities, foreign policy choices, and security alignments. It assesses the war’s impact on oil markets, sanctions regimes, and regional geopolitics. The monograph concludes that the Gulf War was a pivotal moment in post-Cold War international relations.
