The Cold War revealed, for the first time in human history, the
logic of human togetherness, which indicated that it was not only
necessary for nation-states to live together but also possible for
them to do so. The necessity was because of the inescapably shared
vulnerability of "mutually assured destruction," not only in terms
of security but more so in economic well-being and political
stability. The possibility was due to the unipolar world structure
sustained by the global governance web of interdependent
partnership which worked powerfully "between" the power agents to
ensure the best of all possible world. This latent governance
system was both hierarchical and dynamic because its power was
"connective" in the sense that power was rooted in one another and
the ability to be interdependent by empowering other power agents
and sharing vulnerability at the same time was the way of becoming
the "nucleus" on the global web of interdependent partners and
hence gaining power in transforming one another connectively and
governing the world collectively. George Kennan's patience in
building up hard and soft powers "within" individual power agents
of the web and Wilson/Roosevelt's institutionalization of
collective power "above" each power agents contributed to the
construction of the system. The Soviet big-brotherly governing type
was proven a failure.
