The closer to 1, the more concentrated power is. There is a general but not strict correlation between concentration and polarity. It is rare to find a result over 0.5, but a result between 0.4 and 0.5 usually indicates a unipolar system, while a result between 0.2 and 0.4 usually indicated a bipolar or multipolar system.
Used in analyses of party systems, the term bipolarization implies both an evolution (transition from the "non-bipolar" state to the "bipolar" state) and a type of system in which the multiparty system is gradually organized into two coalitions, that is to say, into a bipolar system.
To the mainstream International Relations (IR below), the unipolar world came as a surprise. Realists, shaped by “two World Wars and the Cold War, understood the differing logics of multipolar and bipolar systems, but apparently failed to envision a unipolar world because none of their works before the end of the Cold War accounts for it.” [40]

A bipolar signal may have a two-state non-return-to-zero (NRZ) or a three-state return-to-zero (RZ) binary coding scheme. A bipolar signal is usually symmetrical with respect to zero amplitude, i.e. the absolute values of the positive and negative signal states are nominally equal. Contrast with unipolar encoding where one state is zero ...
Fact: Bipolar disorder affects 3.3% of women and 2.6% of men each year, and 4.4% of both genders during their lifetimes, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. This equates to 45 ...
It has been assumed that the old bipolar world would beget a multipolar world… The immediate post-Cold War world is not multipolar. It is unipolar. The center of world power is an unchallenged superpower, the United States, attended by its Western allies. [36] In fact, as Lawrence Freedman commented in 1991, a "unipolar" world is now taken ...
