new world order

Global power shift

New world order refers to a significant shift in global political power and international relations, typically following major upheaval like war or revolution.

The phrase gained currency after the Cold War ended, suggesting a reorganized system of geopolitics.

In conspiracy theories, the New World Order is a secretive elite plotting totalitarian world government: They think the UN is just a front for the new world order.
