monopolarity
One-ended magnetic state
Monopolarity describes a condition or system characterized by having a single pole, center, or dominant force.
In international relations, it refers to a world order where one superpower holds overwhelming influence, as the United States did following the Cold War.
In physics and electronics, it describes systems operating with a single polarity rather than alternating between positive and negative.
The post-Soviet era ushered in a period of American monopolarity.
