Abstract
What is world order? What is our general understanding of it? What do we mention by concepts like cold war and new world order? What effects has these concepts for policy agenda in Middle East? The author observes that، for the world، there were two separate period time adding dimension of constructing universal system. The first period begins with imperialism system in nineteenth century and the second one with European system which did not have great influence. The first tendency didn’t accepted the universal ethic in other hand the European system that strengthened the mechanism of self-control، did not reflect the issues that were concerned those days. So، in one respect، these two systems were at best misleading as well as illuminating.
