Polarity (international relations) Bipolarity is a distribution of power in which two states have the majority of economic, military, and cultural influence internationally or regionally.[30] Often, spheres of influence would develop. For example, in the Cold War, most Western and capitalist states would fall under the influence of the USA, while most Communist states would fall under the influence of the USSR. After this, the two powers will normally maneuver for the support of the unclaimed areas. Which in the case of the Cold War means Africa, etc. (refer to map below).
