Introduction

For today Coronavirus is one of the actual cases for discussion and it is considered a global pandemic. The individuals of the world are fighting against Coronavirus. Certainly, coronavirus or COVID-19 postures numerous challenges to governments and people.

More than 2.5 million individuals of the world have been infected with COVID-19, and more than 170,000 of them have yielded to the Coronavirus (COVID-19 Information Center, 2020) (Yeung, McKeehan, Woodyatt, and Alfonso III, 2020). Coronavirus might taint another 2 million people groups and kill 200,000 individuals around the world till the end of June, the time we can announce that we win the victory of the war against the COVID-19. At that time (19 April 2020), we have seen that the Coronavirus is so powerful that it has attacked nearly every nation within the world. It appears that the history of the human being seen that everybody is equal ahead of Coronavirus, in another word, there is no separation ahead of Coronavirus.

The main purpose of the research is to find answers to the research questions: What kind of challenges does Coronavirus bring to Global development? – hypothesis of this paper is that the victor of this biological war is not clear yet, but what we know is that Coronavirus or COVID-19 postures numerous challenges to governments and people, and it has driven huge challenges or topics for global development also. These enormous challenges can be considered as an examination for global development, and each of them causes a different kind of opportunity for global development. Each of them will affect our work, lives, and society for now and future. Accordingly, this paper will expound on each of them and point out options from the mentioned challenges.

Paragraph 2 presents methods that are used to investigate the research question. The literature review in paragraph 3 provides analyzing part for the challenges and readiness for global development. Also, the paper relies on Bradsher and Tang, in order to analyze the interconnection between coronavirus and global development. Paragraph 4 produces statistical examples and analysis, which draws a clear picture of a pandemic. Paragraph 5 summarizes all information and offers results.

Consequently, this paper introduces a number of challenges and results from Coronavirus to global development, and the analytical part helps us to realize how these challenges affected the states' development at the international level.

 

1.1 People and Animals

Before Coronavirus we had faced a different version of the pandemic, which was known as swine fever. It came from Africa and spread to several parts of the world in 2019. And what should be the reason for this fever? We know, that tens of millions of pigs were killed from time to time in different countries (Bradsher & Tang, 2019). This may be a caution from the pigs or animals to humans, “you might endure catastrophe”. Within the early arrange of the coronavirus episode in January 2019, some theorized that bats tainted people and made the coronavirus break out. This may be another warning from birds or animals to human beings, “you might endure catastrophe”. We did not truly care almost such warnings and treated them with pride and prejudice. We traveled around the world with trains, airplanes, using cruise ships in order to enjoy every moment of life. All of these illustrate that people stay truly the special superpower among animals. All these are fundamental for human beings, since our economies, works, and lives are based on the national and global human development and products and services exchange, with quick, faster, and quickest speed and smartest implies. In any case, the coronavirus widespread leads us to concern in the event that the relationship between the people and animals is dishonorable, people might endure catastrophes within the 21st century, severer than the coronavirus widespread. This coronavirus widespread tells us that we have openings to provide a kind relationship between humans and animals. We ought to make a more inviting biosystem comprising of ourselves and all the animals for worldwide improvement.

1.2 People and Nature

The friendly and harmonious relationship between nature and people is vitally important. Nevertheless, we are trying to dominate over nature by using different sources, such as technology, science and etc. Consequently, the coronavirus pandemic gave us chance once more to review this relationship. We gain knowledge in order to understand everything clearer regarding nature. We attempt to research and improvement in order to comprehend nature. We create science and innovation in arrange to utilize nature more intelligently. However, if we do not make friends with nature, nature might bring approximately catastrophes to human creatures utilizing us as its agent, such as coronavirus. How to maintain a healthy and friendly relationship between nature and people has a great number of opportunities for global development.


1.3 Science and governance

The coronavirus widespread illustrates that therapeutic science and innovation has played an awfully restricted part in containing coronavirus, since washing hands, keep social removing and remaining at domestic are essentially not related to science and innovation but governance and legislative issues. In other words, science and innovation alone cannot contain the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, coronavirus flare-up and after that widespread powers, we reexamine the relationship between science and governance. How to create a valuable relationship between science and governance is basic for global advancement. On one hand, we ought to create huge science and innovation to meet the huge needs of society, nation, and the full world. For case, in the event that we have a viable pharmaceutical or tablet against COVID-19, at that point, we are able to overcome the freeze brought about from coronavirus widespread, since we as it were ought to swallow a tablet, and it slaughters all the coronavirus in our possess body. Be that as it may, this day has not however come. On the other hand, successful governance from governments of all the nations has been playing a more vital part in battling COVID-19. In any case, more universal participation among the governments of all the nations is required to at long last win the fight overcoming the coronavirus widespread based on the rules of either WTO or UN or both or an unused established universal collusion battling against coronavirus widespread. Such an effective organization together is still not accessible remorsefully.

The 1918 Spanish Flu widespread murdered at slightest 50 million individuals around the world (Shah & Shah, 2020). Fortunately, we have had numerous logical and mechanical propels since that point. We have critical certainty that much fewer fatalities would be created when we win the war against the COVID-19. Moreover, coronavirus will drive science and innovation to have more openings to create human beings more secure and more beneficial within the future.

1.4 Data, Analytics, and Coronavirus

We are within the age of big data and analytics (Gartner, 2020) (Howson, Richardson, Sallam, & Kronz, 2019) (Sun Z.  2019). Huge information and analytics have been revolutionizing our work, lives, and society (Sun, Sun, & Strang, 2018). They are moreover playing a few parts in battling against coronavirus pandemic. For illustration, ready to know the global fatalities and contaminated cases related to coronavirus of each nation or locale within the world using https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/. Able to give more information to the cloud and get more cloud administrations from the internet than ever, since numerous of us are working at domestic. In any case, it appears that enormous information and analytics have not specifically affected the investigation and advancement of pharmaceuticals against coronavirus. It has not assisted the generation of antibodies against coronavirus. It was detailed that immunization against coronavirus cannot be accessible until September (as detailed in TV program on 10 April 2020). In this manner, how to utilize huge information and analytics to assist the creation and generation of medication and antibodies against coronavirus (Shah & Shah, 2020) may be an enormous opportunity for global advancement amid the freeze widespread. Besides, how to quickly figure the spread of the infection not as it were at a populace level but moreover, and essentially, at a hyper-local, city, or community level is the social require for huge information analytics in common and enormous information prescient analytics in particular. Another coronavirus-driven huge information innovation is that Google and Apple are working together to create contact following apps that can alarm individuals on the off chance that they have as of late come into contact with others found to be contaminated with coronavirus (Kelion, 2020). This app can record the coronavirus-oriented social systems and pinpoint who may well be the following objective of contamination with infection.

1.5 Coronavirus and Global economy

The coronavirus widespread is causing sensational global financial change, at the slightest it has been paralyzing the global economy (Elliott, 2020). Millions of Americans have recorded jobless claims. The conventional strategy for expanding GDP has been stopped. The well-known ROI strategy has not worked any longer. The stock showcase is so vacillated that the experienced worldwide speculators don't know another step for their speculation. Any expectation on financial exercises of nowadays implies nothing.

The current global economy is based on successful human development universally and items and administrations trade universally. In any case, coronavirus global challenges such global development and trade, since of bolt down of a city, border closed up between nations (street, air, and sea). Remaining at domestic and working at domestic ended up the prevalent strategy for dodging the coronavirus assault.

At slightest, we cannot go back to the time sometime recently the mechanical insurgency until the end of time. Indeed, at that time, millions of pilgrims were still investigating each corner of the world for “exploration, settlement, and trade”. It was them who have brought around the current success of our time: we have reveled in airplanes, cars, trains, the Web, and savvy phones. How to restore and support human development globally and items and administrations trade universally gotten to be an enormous challenge for global improvement.

Fortunately, China and some European nations are recouping and reviving their national financial exercises. Amazon, Alibaba, and Jd.com are utilizing o2o trade demonstrate for assembly the ever-increasing requests of billions of clients. The cruel winter of coronavirus is passing absent. More coronavirus-driven global financial openings are coming within the spring of the global economy.

1.6 All in one arrangement to battling against coronavirus

The coronavirus has broken out since January 2020. The circumstance of coronavirus widespread has not been coming to the crest point or the most exceedingly bad point so distant. The freeze is still spreading broadly and profoundly around the world. We have utilized a number of ICT items with all in one work in our work and domestic. For illustration, our printer has coordinates photocopy, filter, print, fax, mail, and WIFI get to into one machine. The huge issue for battling against coronavirus is how to coordinated Rested bound together with an arrangement to battle against coronavirus, where Rested speaks to social, legitimate, financial, political, and innovative. At slightest logical and mechanical arrangements to vanquish the coronavirus has been slacking behind the social request and desire from human creatures. This moreover infers that we do have not a great understanding of coronavirus at an atom level. Else, it would be ideal if you let me know how numerous coronavirus atoms there are in my domestic. What is the edge for the number of coronavirus atoms for me to be infected with the coronavirus? Usually an address for me, everybody to know direly. In the event that we know them precisely, at that point social removing and remaining at domestic will ended up futile.

1.7 Assessed effect on global emissions

In arrange to begin building up a global picture of how the widespread is influencing vitality utilize and emanations, Carbon Brief has been gathering prove from a wide run of sources. The data incorporates coordinate information, intermediary pointers, news reports, and third-party figures. It covers road-transport request, flying, mechanical action, financial yield, power request, discusses contamination, air carbon and other important markers. In a few nations and segments, eminently universal flying, the effect of the current emergency is so serious and sensational that there can be a small question it is due to other variables. Indeed so, a number of suspicions are required to decipher flight cancellations into tons of CO2.

Not all of the data can so effectively be interpreted into impacts on outflows. For illustration, exclusive global activity information, delivered by satnav creator TomTom and followed by the Monetary Times, appears that street utilize has vanished in numerous cities beneath lockdown. But this city-by-city “congestion index” does not straightforwardly compare with by and large transport fuel utilize.

Additionally, the “truck-toll-mileage index”, distributed by the German Government Insights Office, appears a phenomenal 5.9% month-to-month drop in merchandise activity in Walk 2020. This, as it were, compares to one portion of German road-transport requests, but moreover offers a set of the effect on mechanical movement. Ferdinand tells Carbon Brief the list “has a solid relationship with German industry production”, meaning it can give “some early hints” with respect to how financial action will create.

So distant, five sets of information and existing examination stand out as advertising solid, convenient, and quantifiable prove of the coronavirus emergency cutting worldwide CO2 emanations in 2020. These cover the worldwide oil division, the EU ETS, India’s power division, and the complete economies of the US and China.

Together, these five zones account for the huge larger part of yearly worldwide CO2 emissions, some three-quarters (76%) of the full in 2018, concurring with a Carbon Brief investigation of information from ICIS and the Worldwide Vitality Organization (IEA) World Vitality Viewpoint 2019.

The chart below presents the combined evaluated impacts for these five regions in ruddy, nearby an illustrative extend (dark bars) appearing what a 1, 3, or 5% drop in yearly outflows would see like in 2020. Underneath the specked line, in blue, are the five biggest yearly falls ever recorded earlier this year.



As in the event that to stress the fast-moving and dubious nature of the current circumstance, consultancy Rusted Vitality distributed an essentially upgraded gauge of the effect on global oil markets on 8 April, after Carbon Brief’s starting examination had as of now been finalized.

Finally, the nature of the global “carbon budget” implies that climatic carbon concentrations and worldwide temperatures will proceed to rise unless and until yearly outflows reach net-zero.

Even a 10% drop in worldwide fossil-fuel emanations would see a few 33,000MtCO2 pumped into the atmosphere in 2020, the next to add up to than in any year sometime recently 2010. Any emanations cuts in 2020 alone will, in this manner, have a small effect, unless they are taken after by longer-lasting changes.

 

Paragraph 5 - Conclusion

Coronavirus widespread could be a horrendous war. COVID-19 is challenging science and innovation, administration, open administration of human creatures. In this war, the elemental but straightforward issues are as it were three: Who are our adversaries? who are our companions? and when can we overcome our foes? The answers are exceptionally self-evident: our common foes are undetectable coronavirus or COVID-19. Our common companions are ourselves as human creatures. The cooperative energy of bound together social, legitimate, financial, political, and technological activity and arrangement will overcome the coronavirus or COVID-19 inside a few months, exceptionally conceivable by the conclusion of June 2020.

We are companions, living in one shop to confront one adversary, COVID-19. In this manner, we need to collaborate with one another at the same cutting edge to dispatch the ultimate check assault on the coronavirus and win the definitive war against the COVID-19.

In any case, indeed that we win the war against the coronavirus or COVID-19. The arrangements tending to the above-mentioned huge challenges will significantly impact the global improvement in common, global financial and social advancement is extraordinary within the coming a long time in the event that not decades. For illustration, remaining at domestic tells us that physical nearness isn't continuously as vital as we had thought and hones (Shah & Shah, 2020). Social removing exhorts us that gathering, and partying are not continuously as vital as we have thought and hones. Working remotely at home advises us that working in an office isn't continuously as essential as we have thought and hone. For illustration, able to work at domestic for one day or two each week so that the discuss contamination will be decreased essentially. The overwhelming activity on the street will be moderated. The infection would discover less chance to spread.

It is early to make final conclusions. The phrase “nothing will ever be the same again” is almost wrong. It makes sense to inquire what might change in international politics “after Corona”. At this arrangement, any answers stay by nature temporary.

A failed military coup in Russia. What happened?

  A failed military coup in Russia. What happened?   By: Nika Chitadze Director of the Center for International Studies Professor of the International Black Sea University President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia - International and Security Research Center    For several hours on June 24 of this year, Russia was on the verge of a civil war. The rebellious "Wagnerians" were already 200 kilometers from Moscow. In the center of Rostov, the head of "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin himself was fortified, and the Chechen leader Kadyrov sent his armed formations to destroy him, he had positions in the outskirts of the city and was preparing for an attack. However, in the end, the "march of justice" announced by Prigozhin ended "peacefully". Russia avoided a civil war. At least at this point. Government representatives and the so-called parties reached an agreement during the negotiations between the private military company "Wagne

Ukraine's expected counterattack and possible de-occupation of the country

  Ukraine's expected counterattack and Possible De-Occupation of the Country Nika Chitadze Professor of the International Black Sea University Director of the Center for International Studies President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia - International and Security Research Center  As expected, Ukraine's counteroffensive against the Russian occupation forces has already begun, although it has not yet entered the decisive phase. It should be noted that the past 5 months were particularly difficult for Ukrainian soldiers - the period when Ukraine began to save forces to prepare for a large-scale counteroffensive. In recent months, Ukraine has withdrawn most of its combat-ready units from the front line, and thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have gone abroad for training. The newly formed and refreshed brigades were left intact by the military-political leadership of Ukraine and did not involve them in heavy winter battles.   All this happened against the backgrou

Ecologic Problems of the Modern World and their Impact on the International Politics

Nika Chitadze Affiliated Prof. Dr., Faculty of Social Sciences, International Black Sea University. Director of the Center for International Studies President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia – International and Security Research Center Tbilisi, Georgia Introduction Environment and its such resources, as water, air, always were the necessary conditions for the human`s life and activities. But, during the many centuries of the history of mankind, environment was not represented the problem neither for the humanity, nor for its further sustainable development. Environment and natural resources were offering the satisfaction the needs of those people, who lived in the concrete period of the world history without causing the damage to the next generations. At the second half of the XX Century, the topic related to the environmental protection was included to the agenda, including the political aspects, because of the fact, that as a result
