In recent decades, the Collective West (Collective West—A geopolitical construct demonstrating the unity of the political, economic, and social systems and the foreign policy approaches of the states of the Euro-Atlantic region. The concept unites the US and its allies: the member states of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (except Türkiye), as well as Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.) has been the driving force behind the development of regionalism, both in theory and in practice. In practical terms, this is primarily constituted by a network of economic partnership agreements, association agreements, enhanced partnerships, including the EU-ACP, which cements neo-colonial centre-periphery relations (Bokeriya et al., 2022), a phenomenon that is reinforced by other elements of the structural power of the Collective West, including the WTO (trade), the Bretton Woods institutions (finance), the OECD (economics), and NATO (security) (Strange, 1988).
