What is the Great Powers Perspective on the International Order? Analysing the Content of US, Chinese, EU, and Russian Strategic Plans
International order is one of the most important questions for scholars in the field of International Relations. Many efforts have been made to understand the nature and characteristics of global order, especially in recent years. This article attempts to analyse the strategic documents of four major powers (the United States, the European Union, China, and Russia) to understand and compare them. This research employs qualitative content analysis and coding techniques using MAXQDA2020 to examine the strategic documents of these powers and their perception of international order. The results of this research demonstrate that alliance is the preferred concept of the global powers.
