It is being replaced, piece by piece, by overlapping regional balances. The Iran war revealed the gaps. The Quad's evolution shows how the replacements get built. Part I of a four-part series on how the post-1945 order is being rewritten in 2026.

Its monopoly on cross-border plumbing is. New payment rails, BRICS settlement experiments, and sovereign wealth redeployment are building a financial order that is no longer single-channel.

OPEC's coherence is weaker, new pipelines and corridors are routing flows along non-Western axes, and nuclear and grid technology are becoming direct levers of statecraft. The energy map is being redrawn faster than most Western capitals have updated their assumptions. Part III of a four-part series on how the post-1945 order is being rewritten in 2026.

Its erosion is the cleanest single signal that the post-1945 order is being rewritten. Part IV closes the series with the petrodollar, the Trump-Xi visit as a case study of bilateral great-power management, the drift of multilateral institutions into theater, and what is downstream for capital, supply chains, and individuals.
