The most widely discussed application of the phrase NWO of recent times came at the end of the Cold War. Presidents Mikhail Gorbachev and George H. W. Bush used the term to try to define the nature of the post-Cold War era and the spirit of great power cooperation that they hoped might materialize. 

With US forces leaving Afghanistan and the looming Coronavirus, again we hear the words "New World Order" and its ramifications.
