Definition
单极 is a technical term meaning 'unipolar' or 'monopole'. In physics, it refers to a single magnetic pole (as in 磁单极子, magnetic monopole). In political science, it describes a world order dominated by a single superpower (单极世界, unipolar world). The term is abstract and domain-specific, so context is essential to understand which sense is intended.
