Indeed, the end of the Cold War era did not immediately result in the restoration of world peace, and international security, and the cessation of the arms race. While there was a reduction in the number of nuclear weapons and other armaments possessed by the United States and the Soviet Union, other countries continued to pursue their own nuclear programs, and the threat of nuclear war remained a concern.

Moreover, new forms of conflict emerged in the post-Cold War era, such as terrorism and cyber warfare, which presented new challenges to international security. And while there have been efforts to limit the spread of nuclear weapons and other forms of arms, the arms race continues to some extent, particularly in regions such as the Middle East and East Asia.

However, it is important to note that there have been some positive developments in the post-Cold War era, such as the growth of international cooperation and the establishment of new institutions and norms aimed at promoting peace and security. For example, the United Nations has played an important role in mediating conflicts and promoting disarmament, while regional organizations such as the European Union and the African Union have helped to address regional security challenges.

Overall, while the end of the Cold War era did not immediately result in the restoration of world peace and international security, it has provided opportunities for progress and cooperation in these areas. However, ongoing efforts are needed to address the remaining challenges and threats to global peace and security.

The end of the Cold War merely marked the end of an ideological dispute between two superpowers, with one considering itself the victor. However, there has not been an end to history in the sense of F. Fukuyama, as evidenced by the instability of many regions of the world over the last 30 years. It can be argued that, ultimately, the main thesis of the above theory has been verified negatively. Furthermore, liberal democracy appears to be less attractive to many countries than a development model based on strong state capitalism. It is difficult to assess all this in the current period of quite significant geopolitical changes. The results of the current political and economic processes will be assessed by future historians. That's for sure...

Of course, because the matter is not only about signing agreements of a technical nature, but the establishment of peace is related to other factors that go beyond that, such as establishing the rules of trust between countries, especially the major powers, and realizing that the concept of security is no longer only related to the strategic aspect, but to all issues that affect In human security, such as health, the environment, the economy, culture, etc., and the continuation of major crises such as Ukraine and Taiwan may push nuclear states to use these weapons, even if tactically, and therefore the specter of weapons of mass destruction remains hanging over all these agreements.
