Will countries close their borders now? Or will they fight together against common threats?
Yes - is the answer to both of these questions. Countries have already closed their borders and imposed travel ban. At the same time, all countries are fighting their own fight against this pandemic. Rich countries are helping poor countries to get out of this situation. So the fight is everywhere to save the human race!
In short, every sector and habit that brought nations together started to shake. I think the world of the future is left to nationalists. How about you? What do you think? Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps states will understand that they live on the same ship in the world. They will develop common responses to common threats. (Global Warming, Environmental Pollution, Population Growth, International Terrorism, Epidemic Diseases...) They will try to make the world more livable together. Maybe...
Extreme Nationalism = fascism!
US chosen Trump as their president and India chosen Modi as their Prime Minister. Both of these incidents denotes that world has already seen a rise in the Nationalist power which eventually lead to fascism, less in US but prominently in India!
I believe, we have reached such a time where a global force is needed to fight the human problem with a human way! But it looks difficult because the fascist forces are ruling the major economies, US, China, India. All of these countries are being ruled under various levels of dictatorship who came to the power by spreading hatred towards a particular religious minority. We can just hope for the best!
“Governance encompasses the system by which an organisation is controlled and operates, and the mechanisms by which it, and its people, are held to account.”* Governance must be used in public administration, even if the new world is national. Enabling people to participate fairly in the system is only possible with Blockchain system. A more decentralized world is waiting for us in the future.
Exactly that is the reason we will never see blockchain in the governance. If everything within government become transparent, how the power mongers will function?? How the bureaucrats will make money? How the politicians will take the juice out of the economy?? How the police force will indulge in illegal practices?? Do you understand the gravity of this issue??
