COVID-19 PANDEMIC AS A CATALYST FOR TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD ORDER IN THE DIRECTION OF BI-MULTIPOLARITY

Abstract

This paper’s intention is to provoke the inquiry of what form of world order would inherit the post-COVID-19 reality. The author goes to make evident how the American unipolar moment was just an interregnum, during which new subjects in the global arena were established, particularly on the Euro-Asian mainland. Then, it is demonstrate how our current understanding of polarity is not convenient for the upcoming challenges, so we should accept some innovative vantage points towards polarity. To be precise, the system of bi-multipolarity with two dominant actors i.e. super powers that take active part in the creation of the global international relations, but in which along with them there are some other big actors, which even though without immense global impact, do play significant role in shaping the international relations. Global area is to witness the insurgence of two leading axis in geopolitical contest: Naval axis (Washington-London-Brussels-Paris-Berlin) and Mainland axis (Beijing-Moscow-Tehran-New Delhi-Global South). This experimental classifications of hybrid bi-multipolarism opens the question also for its stability, and perseverance in managing the upcoming challenges. Besides, the paper deals with the query of what category of philosophical worldview would be established as a prevailing condition, and can we see an emergence of a new-fangled philosophy of transnational conduct centered on non-occidental ethical and ontological doctrines.
