However, it needs to be acknowledged that this conflict, along with other crucial factors such as the socio-economic factors would determine war and peace in the world. The Ukraine-Russia conflict is only one of the many strands presently altering the contours of world governance. Substantial political developments are also taking place all across the globe, which will have similar if not more pertinence and relevance to the future of the international governance system.
