The concept of multipolarity, which entered political use at the end of the twentieth century, served as a symbol of the rejection of hegemony. And in this sense, it was used by many countries of the world. Today, this slogan has materialized into reality. Yet multipolarity, in itself, merely describes a new geopolitical landscape: one defined by multiple power centres. Participants in the first session of the Valdai Discussion Club’s 22nd Annual Meeting discussed what principles such a system can operate on and whether uniform principles are possible at all.
