• The world is entering an era where possessing military force, capital, or technology is no longer sufficient.
• Power increasingly belongs to actors capable of converting one form of capacity into another.
• The Middle East is becoming a mature example of post-hegemonic security layering.
• Sovereignty is being contested through passports, elections, treaties, and administrative systems.

This shift may indicate a new era of global politics where power is no longer solely dependent on traditional forms of influence, but rather on the ability to navigate complex networks and convert capacities. The emerging multipolar security market suggests that states are seeking to diversify their security portfolios, which could lead to increased resilience but also potential conflicts of interest.
