On February 24, 2025, the Globus expert club launches the digital version of the exhibition "Global Transformation: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow". On this occasion, we are launching a series of publications analyzing the events of the past and present and stimulating reflection on the future.
What patterns can be recorded in the historical events of the recent past, what is their real background?
How does a series of local and global upheavals of the previous and current periods allow us to rebuild the system of international relations so that it meets the real needs of people and strategic humanitarian values?
What sustainable conclusions can be made so that the future develops according to a constructive scenario and takes into account the interests of the global majority?
What risks must be taken into account and what set of values will become decisive at the next stage of human development?
We will try to answer these questions in a series of publications about the exhibition, consisting of three blocks:
– “Yesterday”
– “Today”
– “Tomorrow”
What did we encounter “yesterday”?
In the 20th century, the world experienced two wars of an unprecedented scale. The imbalances that arose after these wars became the starting point for a series of conflicts and crises. Contradictions between empires, the ambitions of the hegemon, the struggle for resources and territories - all this led to large-scale destruction and human casualties.
Remembering and analyzing the past, we realize how fragile peace and stability are, and how important it is to make efforts to prevent new global disasters and save lives.
The history of the 20th-21st centuries has shown how economic problems can spread throughout the world, causing social tensions and undermining trust in existing political systems, while the root of many economic crises is the unfair distribution of resources and greed.
Analysis of historical economic crises and their origins helps to understand the causes of modern problems and avoid repeating mistakes, ensuring more equitable and balanced development.
Local conflicts, ignited in different parts of the planet, carry the potential for escalation and development into global crises. Wars in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and other regions of the world not only take lives, but also create a breeding ground for the development of terrorism, the spread of extremist ideologies and the destabilization of political regimes.
An analysis of these conflicts reveals common features and origins that confirm in many ways their artificial nature and the hypocrisy of those empowered to maintain the balance of global geopolitics.
