Abstract

The dynamics of the global system are changed by America versus China competition, which has bearing on how economies work, trade maps make as well as security networks, and defense partnerships take form. The research on how this competition shapes states is done by the means of realism via power politics. The results of this research show that superpower tensions and trade wars in the form of tech competition and economic fragmentation have affected worldwide logistics networks and altered international market relationship and made financial instabilities worse. Large military investments and cooperation of regional alliances are changing the world security both countries, in areas such as the Indo-Pacific. The difference lies in fact that China is leading through its Belt and Road Initiative while the United States uses QUAD and AUKUS systems to achieve similar end of global expansion and superiority. The competition erodes global governance systems through the loss of power of many institutions inhabiting the power of the region. This research project investigates gaps related to scholarly gaps in examining new developments such as AI and cybersecurity, their effects on world order. The examination provides the base for the information that is essential to the policy creators, academic researchers and practitioners to grasp the nature of the international effects brought about by US-China confrontation and its effects on security stability and economic development. This is followed by results, which suggest diplomatic action, and strategic partnerships are necessary to stop unwanted acceleration of these confrontations.
