Amid economic and political globalization, a distinguishing feature of the contemporary international system has to do with the growing number and variety of non-state actors. A special place among these belongs to international (multilateral) institutions, which, in addition to informational and communicative...
... to go through a “bottleneck” in the coming years. In primitive times, tribes used to come together to solve common problems. Now it is up to states and international institutions to come together to address the common agenda of the 21

On January 1, 2021, we all met both the new year and the new, third decade of the 20th century.
