Global Conflicts and Local Interactions: Contradictions of Global Capitalism and Civil Society

The contemporary changes make global conflicts and local interactions increasingly interconnected. The local problem can spread rapidly globally, and global problems can interfere in many local communities. Diverse global conflicts have a strong influence on local social dynamics; at the same time, local processes, especially in hegemonic geopolitical macro-regions, shape the global political and economic order. Today’s problems have crystallized as a result of various technological, economic, political, social, cultural and other global interactions over the long history of human civilization which have not been sufficiently processed and integrated into the systemic framework of local, regional and national structures and the global civilizational system, nor into theoretical research analyses. While colonial history lies deep in the roots of many contemporary problems, today the main power behind the perpetuation of systemic and structural causes of inequalities and injustice is global capitalism, with the related processes of the exploitation and marginalization of various world macro-regions and hegemonic war conflicts. Critical research into global conflicts and local interactions brings to the fore mutual relations between diverse issues such as military escalation, wars, transnational migration, poverty, exploitation, displacement and social expulsion, transnational corporations, gender and racial inequalities, etc., and opens up horizons for the normative issues of struggling for global justice and peace, reshaping democracy and citizenship in a post-national constellation and new economic paradigms compatible with civilizational and ecological developments. The challenge faced by social research into global conflicts is that analyses need to be directed not only at security studies, but also and principally at the complex sources and causes of wars and other contemporary problems, mainly in the form of the subtle economic, political, and cultural practices of global capitalism which lie behind armed conflicts. These analyses are also the first step towards resolving conflicts. In other words, we can say that analyses of “hard power” should
