[eng][cze] This thesis had the purpose to study the current international system. After presenting its features in theories, the aim was to understand how it is constructed through an analytical approach. In this thesis, it is supposed that the international system, and in particular its polarity, is currently facing some changes due to several reasons which are exposed. It will be identified the different actors of the international system which are susceptible to upset the polarity of this system. Nation-states, IGOs and MNCs will thus be described and presented, and their strength into the completion of such achievement will be identified. To conclude, the thesis will end with a last chapter dedicated to the construction of future scenario which will aim at forecasting the potential international system in which one will be evolving in the coming future.This thesis had the purpose to study the current international system.
