The economic diplomacy as a tool to shape the image of the future in a changing geopolitical reality

Abstract

Two images of the future – «Digital totalitarian world or ―cybertotalitarianism― as ―digital concentration camp― with the Fourth Industrial (limited) revolution, the ―Great Reset― with reducing the population of the Earth from 8 to 2 billion people» and «The development of local civilizations of the fifth generation based on humanism, dialogue, partnership and peace-loving diplomacy between States, peoples, and civilizations, on the basis of constant concern for nature and the noosphere, with the leadership of the East and the Russian multinational civilization», they came together in a fierce battle for primacy on their territory and the planet Earth in the 21st century.

This article focuses on current international agenda about forecasting the image of the future as a collision of models of paintings and strategies of the world order for the near and medium term. Its content in an accessible form shows the global price that humanity will have to pay for the strategy of a unipolar ―Collective West‖ and an ―alternative‖ to a multipolar world based on the principles of transhumanism, the rules of TNCs, total digitalization (according to K. Schwab and other). Peace, diplomacy, state sovereignty, reliable cooperation, safe work, and the identity of peoples, the continuity of classical values and universal concern for nature are designed to overcome power transhumanism and the Western ultra-liberal model of human development. Economic diplomacy is seen as a tool for harmonizing international life.
