Abstract

This interdisciplinary research CRINK (China, Russia, Iran and North Korea) together challenge to U.S. hegemony and global order. This coalition focuses on military, economic, and diplomatic approaches to circumventing Western presence. It seeks to foster a multipolar world architecture, to question the global norms, and to be shown to be resilient to economic coercion, through original mechanisms to escape from sanctions to examine the role that historical experience and political ideologies have played in determining the common ends shared. The central objectives of the research are to study the historical events and political ideas, the military and economic cooperation to fight against Western hegemony and build alternative governance systems, the activities to help with the formation of a multipolar system and practices to crack sanctions to showcase the bloc's ability to innovate and evolve under stress. The aim of this study is to try and explain CRINK actions from a theoretical perspective, drawing on anarchy, what balance of power believes to govern CRINK actions, and the security dilemma in the light of what CRINK action is believed to be a response to felt intrusion, aimed at securing regional dominance. This study will use qualitative approach with a case study and content analysis to serve as the means to extract CRINK's strategies and intentions. Because of this study, it is of interest that non-Western coalitions are able to alter power dynamics, and how to contribute to a wider theoretical debate on Multipolarity and resistance to hegemony. The field covers the analysis of the foreign policy regimes of the CRINK modes, their combined impact on the global system, and the trend of resisting Westernization of the modalities. Future research could explore the long-term viability of CRINK and the possibility of CRINK to have an influence on other regional powers. This paper offers a new perspective on CRINK as an axis of the international system which challenges conventional order and may contribute to a multipolar world order
