During the First and the Second World Wars, world politics was characterised by multipolar world order in which several powers had enjoyed a superpower status. Great powers’ struggle for dominance and influence affected world order. However, since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has emerged as the only superpower that enjoyed an undisputed leadership. The U.S. political, economic and military strategic weight has enabled Washington to play a vital role in international affairs. Nevertheless, the U.S. involvement in several issues has weakened its international position, particularly, War against terrorism and Weapons of Mass Destruction WMD. Moreover, the U.S. engagement in war in Afghanistan and Iraq further demonstrated the U.S. vulnerabilities. While Washington was occupied in these wars and their and suffered several setbacks, China and Russia were seeking great power status. They underscored political and economic reforms to tackle domestic and external issues. This study provides a more in-depth analysis of the scramble between major world powers over hegemony in a changing global order. It seeks to answer the following questions; Can the current system be maintained over the next decade as China continues to rise economically and militarily and Russia increases its interventions abroad? Will the US see China and Russia primarily as strategic competitors whose economic, military, and tech capabilities must be limited? In this regard, this study will give awareness on how superpower rivalry affect the current political context
