Abstract
Research background: Many scenarios of organization of the international system of the post-pandemic era has been formulated. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is the prediction one of these scenarios using simulation analysis of the situation which will be formed after the economic and political crises caused by COVID 19 and the determination the place of Georgia in post-pandemic globalized order. Methods: structural-functional analysis, geopolitical approach and simulation analyses. Findings & Value added: In the post-pandemic world the globalization will weaken and the role of nation states will increase. In this situation, for states with great military potentials, the establishment of military strategic and political control over countries rich in natural resources and raw materials and also those favorable for transit will gain great importance. One of such regions is the southern Caucasus and Georgia, which has a nodal geographic position. The likely restructuring of the world system caused by theoretical and paradigmatic revisionism of world politics will force Georgia to rethink its place in the system of geopolitical relations in the region to ensure national security and stable democratic development. In this situation polarized worldviews of generations (Orthodox, conservative versus liberal and democratic) will produce two-party system. One of these parties will be oriented to the west and another to Russia. Such party system will ensure the functioning of the security system based on a balanced foreign policy.
Highlights
The post-bipolar era has defined the trajectory of the cultural, socio-economic, political development of the world, humanity, in terms of the realization of globalization as a project of the liberal model
It should be said that the post-communist history of Georgia, and especially the post “Rose Revolution” period, was based on the theoretical paradigm of liberal foreign policy in terms of the foreign policy pursued by political elites, which linked the functioning of entire government structures to only one vector - the Euro-Atlantic space and the United States [21], which ensured Georgia's sovereignty
One of the reasons for this is that the party system of Georgia is almost completely oriented to the west and Russian vector is too weak in the foreign orientations of most of them
Summary
The post-bipolar era has defined the trajectory of the cultural, socio-economic, political development of the world, humanity, in terms of the realization of globalization as a project of the liberal model. According to the opinion of most scientists, the essence of globalization, in its turn implies transnationalization, homogenization and standardization of cultures. COVID 19 challenges this ultra individualistic model of social organization. Because of this is “ the pandemic disease caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID 19)...a political problem as much as it is a public health tragedy”, as Sara E. According to the editors of journal “ Territory, Politics, Governance’ , “ Present pandemic is rising fundamental questions about what makes a community , population and a nation sustainable. Social equity and intergenerational justice are integral to well-being and sustainability in space and over time” [2, p. 290]
