Abstract

On May 1, 2017 the World Expo Museum was open for operation to become an innovative international museum in China and the very best example of unique initiative of Shanghai Municipal People's Government with a purpose to educate the public. The World Expo Museum comprehensively demonstrates World Expos’ historical value, impacts of global change and regional outline of human development trends. The paper revises author’s vision of the future of global governance from the perspective of China- foreign interactions experience. Analyzing legal globalization from the aspect of involved agents, the author presents a case study of World Expo 2010 that signifies Shanghai's status in the 21st century, shifting from "the next great world city" to “the excellent global city”. Establishment of the World Expo Museum is explained as a subsequent result of international cooperation and a ‘bottom-to-top’ policy of global importance. Ongoing development of museums/expos is seen as a global innovative trend of eco-environmental intercultural exchange and a creative project for future generations, while China continues extending openness to the rest of the world. China is actively involved in global governance reform and a global agenda that defines the future of dignity, security and mutual benefit is noted. These provisions demonstrate that the rest of the world needs more information about China.
 Expo 2020 Dubai has been postponed due to COVID-19 by a one year following the global mega event running from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. It can be thus said that such actions show a global collective desire of mutual cooperation in times of undecidable global challenge.

Summary

Global city and the world in undecidable times

In order to understand the importance of Chinese central governmental actions for legal globalization, let us reveal the essence of Shanghai 2035 - a highly influential legal document that plays an exemplary role as the first master plan of a megacity to envision as far as 2035 and the first one approved by the State Council following the 19th National Congress of the CPC. Shanghai is not situated in the center of China geographically, strategically speaking - Shanghai is a super international financial center, supreme region, a global city with an influence in economic, cultural and environmental protection. In 1990, the government of Peoples Republic of China announced the launch of the project for development and further openness of the Pudong area, proposed by Deng Xiaoping This program gave platform for Shanghai to participate in international economic dialogue together with other global cities - London, New-York, Tokyo and Paris. Back to the history of the event, it is worth to mention that Shanghai Municipal People’s Government has rated the World Expo Museum (WEM) project as a major cultural facility construction project in its “Twelfth Five-year Plan”. Speaking, Chinese museums divulge strong economic, political and cultural ties with European and Post-Soviet Countries, including Ukraine. After visiting China as a national of a country in Eastern Europe, I wonder - can other developing countries achieve a similar economic and cultural performance during Corona Crisis? I can reassure you: the answer is “YES!”
