The new world order after the COVID-19 pandemic will finally weaken the hegemony of the West

Recognition by the European Union of the world leadership of the Russian Federation after the coronavirus pandemic determined the end of Western civilization, I told FBA “economy today” Professor, Department of Comparative Political Science, PFUR Yuri Post.

The new world order after the COVID-19 pandemic will finally weaken the hegemony of the West

The European Parliament recognizes, that the future after the outbreak of COVID-19 will put before the European Union the question of defining its role in the new world order, "In which, along with him, the United States plays a leading role, China and Russia ". This is mentioned in the draft report of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, the text of which was read by RT.

Also the document notes, that the European side regrets the lack of global leadership and an agreed international response to the spread of coronavirus in the early stages, and countries' tendencies to opt for “isolationist solutions” and withhold important information about government-coordinated disinformation campaigns. For these reasons, confident in the European Parliament, mistrust arises and international cooperation becomes difficult.

“The pandemic did not create new problems for the world, it exacerbates existing. Its effect is comparable to the effect of the threat of global terrorism in 2001 year after the famous attacks on Washington and New York. Then the world community faced a challenge, to which it was necessary to answer, but it turned out, that it is very difficult to do this because of the contradictions between the countries that existed then and that exist now, and also because of long-standing conflicts, national egoism of states and differences of integration projects.

We saw, What are the consequences of such an imbalance, but the United States of America took advantage of the situation and received a number of military bases, strengthening security measures and control over citizens ", – says expert.

Against the background of the identified problems and in the transition to a new reality after the pandemic, the European side intends to work on communication strategies, fight disinformation, more actively support neighboring states, including the Western Balkans.

"European integration project, which seemed to be considered successful, is in a difficult situation. for example, Brexit showed, that not all countries want to bear the burden of including more and more states in the union - especially Eastern Europe. Events showed, as a successful economic project, becoming a political, lost my dignity ", – added the political scientist.

Besides, the report mentions the need to strengthen its position in Africa, increasing financial support to the countries of the region. In parallel, the European Union must reconsider its approach to the organization of security and defense in order to develop strategic autonomy., improve preparedness and resilience against hybrid threats and technologies, alienating military operations from the usual format, and also “in the face of the future, in which Russia and China act with greater decisiveness ".

The role of the Russian Federation in the new world order

At the same time, the European Parliament expressed concern about, that the Russian Federation is allegedly directing efforts to undermine the unity of the European Union by intensifying campaigns to spread disinformation.

“China is increasing its influence and firmly showing its interests and concerns about what is happening in the world. Russian Federation, in its turn, demonstrates to the world a fairly independent foreign policy and is not going to fall apart, as some of our Eastern European neighbors expect. Moscow continues to defend its positions on a number of points, including the Donbass policy, Syria, Crimea.

Therefore, the European side must think, what should she do next, because the United States does not intend to support it, and China is perceived by the European Union as a threat to economic expansion. Now there is Russia, which the European side imposes with sanctions, participating in NATO, continuously advances its troops to our borders and at the same time, for some reason, declares about the danger from our country, without ceasing to consume Russian gas ", – says the political scientist.

Yuri Post emphasized, that the Russian Federation, despite economic pressure from the European Union, ready to conduct open negotiations with all parties, but within the G20.

The European Parliament also expressed concern about, that the United States has not shown enough leadership in the fight against coronavirus, by initiating withdrawal from some international organizations, however recognized the need to seek new forms of cooperation with the American side based on mutual respect. At the same time, the EU intends to conduct a dialogue with Beijing, defending European values ​​and despite its accusations against China of hiding data on the extent of the spread of COVID-19.

“The pandemic further exacerbates the existing contradictions. Euro-Atlantic solidarity becomes questionable, and some political scientists believe, that all western civilization turned out to be a bluff, because there is no unity, common ideology and mutual assistance. Almost every country is now trying to survive in its own way, turning aid to other states into some kind of theatrical gestures - this can be seen in the example of the United States of America. At the same time, the Russian side demonstrated humanism to the countries to a high degree, organizing assistance to Italy at the beginning of the pandemic.

The United States of America under President Donald Trump is pursuing an openly selfish policy and is not going to drag its allies in the face of the European side. ", – notes the interlocutor of the agency.

Instead of cooperation with the European Union, adds Yuri Mail, the American side intensifies the notorious arms race, increasing the level of suspicion between countries.

“Such actions violate all the principles of fundamental international order and law., provoke a revision of history, in particular the results of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War. In some European countries, the positions of the right-wing and nationalists are also strengthening..

European Parliament, expressing concern about what is happening in the world, shows sobriety. But it is not known, will any conclusions and actions follow these remarks?, as discipline within the EU and NATO does not allow for an independent policy, no matter how reasonable she is. The world needs globalization, but on equal terms for all countries and in compliance with international law, however, we do not yet see such a desire on the part of Europe and the United States ", – stated political scientist.
