  What role did the Cold War play in international relations (IR)?
  Unfortunately, your otherwise brilliant analysis did not address how the Cold War shaped the global power struggle, particularly in its challenge to the Western world’s gatekeeping mentality. In the postcolonial era, this dynamic paved the way for neocolonialism—a renewed stage of imperialism that allowed former colonial powers to maintain influence and protect their strategic interests from a distance.
