ИСТИНА

The 75th anniversary of the tragedy in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is a serious reminder to all of us - in what kind of interdependent and dangerous world we live in. Since the invention of the nuclear weapon in 1945, mankind has continued to live with this pre-clan sword. Since then, many other global problems have been added to the danger of nuclear destruction. Since the late 1960s, they have been talked about in a special commissions (Commission Palme, Bruntland, etc.), as well as in the report of the Club of Rome and the publication of many scientists and specialists. Unfortunately, the world community has not yet found ways to solve global problems, but it has also plunged even deeper into such problems and contradictions. The events of recent months with the spread of coronavirus only confirm this conclusion. And now another tragedy has happened - in Lebanon, where the power of the explosion was comparable to the explosion of a nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. So, do we fully understand that we are already living in a global world? Does the policy of the contemporary states, meaning, first of all, Europe, America, Russia, China, etc. correspond with this fact? I doubt. Moreover, my answer to this question is rather negative than positive. Our world evolves so rapidly and dynamically that we hardly notice these changes in time, not to mention reacting on them adequately. I will say more. We have not even understood what the main contradiction of the current epoch is. It is that under the influence of the processes of globalization, by the end of the 20th century the world community has, in fact, become a single holistic system according to nearly all parameters of social life. At the same time, there are still no governance mechanisms to correspond to this holism. The most disturbing in this situation is not that today such governance does not exist in principle, but that it is not being purposefully constructed. To govern world affairs, or, at least, to regulate them in a civilized way, the world community should be able to negotiate and to find coordinated decisions.
