This lecture was presented by the author at the Center for American Studies at the University of Warsaw (Poland) on December 17, 2016 and is a continuation of the lecture given on December 9, 2016, which was kindly published by the respected editorial staff of Archon Journal. This is the first time it is being published in print.
- As a university professor and expert in the field of political and electoral conflictology, including being recognized as the analyst of the year in 2011, I have once again decided to put forth ideas that can be picked up by my colleagues from other universities or, conversely, rejected due to short-sightedness, but are presented below nonetheless.
- It is evident that my subjective evaluations correlate with some assessments of my colleagues in that the period of stability on Earth has passed and we are facing a period of instability in both financial and political realms. States have not always been the way we are used to seeing them. They have gone through a long evolutionary path from communal clan societies through nomadic, feudal, and principalities to empires, which ultimately transformed into national states familiar to us from school maps. However, to think that the period of state evolution has ended is as naive as assuming that liberal capitalism is eternal.
- The question is only how to answer the question of whether the current stage is finite, and if so, what will this end be? In my opinion, the current picture of the near future on Earth is the transformation of national states into two types: so-called transnational corporate states (STCo) and transnational corporate-state entities (TCoS). This natural process of globalization and the planet's limited resources was already described by K. Marx.
