Abstract
"From 1945 to 1962 and from 1979 to 1991, the international order was divided between the East and the West?. This famous statement is the core of what has been called the "cold war" by the International Relations Theorist. The split between two models (Capitalism-liberalism and Marxism) has shaped the world through alignments with the US and the USSR for more than 30 years. However, one of the most powerful communist countries of the world, the People's Republic of China, was not perfectly aligned with the USSR. Moreover, the two models were competing in the world, and China had its own relations with the US that led to the so-called "Sino-Soviet Split", approximately from 1956 (and the destalinization) to 1991 (and the collapse of the Soviet Union). The Sino-Soviet split can be considered the new cold war within the Communist World.
