1.Describe the changes in the ideological landscape of the contemporary world.

- Significant changes have recently taken place to the ideological environment of the
modern world. Traditional ideologies like socialism and communism are losing ground to
centrist and liberal ideas, who have grown increasingly popular. Populist movements
have grown in many countries, creating an issue to the old-guard political system and
calling for change. As persons lay more importance on environmental protection and
sustainability, environmentalism has grown to be a powerful ideological force.

2.Analyze the changing landscape of global politics.

- With several forces influencing how international relations develop, the political
landscape of the world is always changing. The way countries communicate with one
another has undergone a number of significant changes in recent years.
 First, the rise of multipolarity reflects a significant change in world politics. The
United States is no longer the nation that holds the majority of the world's power;
instead of developing countries like China, Russia, and India have become major
competitors on the world stage. As a result, there are now more big powers
competing and collaborating with one another, creating a more multipolar world.
It is notable that China is becoming a superpower, which confronts American
dominance and offers an opportunity for political and economic advancement.
 Second, populism has been on increase in multiple countries around the globe.
Populist movements have gained popularity as a side effect of dissatisfaction
with current trends in politics and a need for change. New political forces have
emerged as an outcome, creating a threat to traditional political parties.
Politicians with extreme views are sometimes elected as an effect of populism,
such as Donald Trump in the United States and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil.
  Third, nationalism has become known as a stronger political force on the global
stage. Many countries are focusing on their own interests and independence
even more, which is causing conflicts and tensions between countries. As
societies work to defend their own economies and cultures, this has also caused
arguments over issues like immigration and trade.
 Fourth, non-state actors in world politics have grown more powerful and
influential, including NGOs, multinational corporations, and terrorist
organizations. New kinds of cooperation and governance have developed from
this, which has presented new challenges for existing state-centric conceptions
of international relations.
 Lastly, globalization is still changing the world political landscape. Increased
economic interrelationship and cross-cultural interaction have caused is worried
about issues like inequality and cultural homogenization. The COVID-19
epidemic has brought attention to how dangerous global interdependence is, and
how important it is for countries to find a balance between cooperation and their
own interests.

In conclusion, there are many different forces at issue in the dynamic and complicated
world of global politics, affecting the development of international relations. These are
only a few of the primary subjects that will continue to affect world politics in the years to
come, along with the growth of populism, nationalism, and multipolarity.

3.Compare and contrast the global north from the global south.
- Their levels of economic development are one of the main differences between the
global north and the global south. While the global north enjoys higher income, wealth,
and educational levels, the global south struggles with serious issues like poverty,
inequality, and limited access to essential services like healthcare and education.
- The political systems of the two countries also different. While the global south usually
struggles with political instability, corruption, and authoritarian regimes, the global north
generally has more stable, democratic democracies
- Although there are some differences between the two regions, there are also some.
Climate change, migration, and abuse are issues that both the global north and the
global south struggle with. The need for cooperation between countries from both
regions is also being increasingly recognized as an essential for finding answers to
global problems.
