ABSTRACT

The article analyzes the features of the transformation of the world political system in the context of globalization. The role of the nation-state is weakening, the influence of international organizations is growing, the growing of number and strengthening of the role of national and supranational non-governmental organizations in world politics is growing, and a new political culture is emerging which is characterized by dissemination and adoption of common world values and interests. One of the trends in the transformation of the world political system is the strengthening of forms of self-organization of the population, the strengthening of civil society institutions. This trend is related to the democratic modernization of the Western model and is characteristic of sustainable democracies and states where democratic transit takes place, transitional political systems exist. There is a countertr-end of counter- or anti-modernization, mainly in Russia, China, North Korea, some countries where Islam is the dominant religion, and Latin American countries, etc. This is a factor in the emergence of domestic social conflicts and the aggravation of the military-political situation in the system of international relations. Therefore, emphasis is placed on strengthening the role of information technology in the political life of society. It is pointed out that among the important consequences of virtualization in public activity, there is the transition to e-democracy. Still, this trend has a downside - infodemia as a phenomenon of the information epidemic that swept the world during the COVID-19 pandemic and became a challenge for governments worldwide.
