Abstract

During the 21st century, new powerful actors will start dominating and influencing the present international system (as an inter-state, classical type of system). In our opinion, alongside metropolises and megalopolises (as present infra-state actors), civilizations will be the future global political-economical stage “gladiators”. Nevertheless, we cannot reduce the civilizations (as complex ensembles of trans-regional and even continental identities) to the religious element, but we have to treat them as multi-dimensional actors, capable to express a distinct political will at global level, through a specific framework of future institutions, and capable to respect rules of a new global order. We prefer to call that type of order, deeply influenced by civilizations, as “the global order of civilizations” (generating a future inter-civilizational law). One original institution of the second half of this century, in this type of order, that we are proposing, is“the Global Mediator of Civilizations/GMC”, as situated to a superior level in comparison withthe present United Nations Organization (that is an inter-state conventional type of framework, still not appropriate for regulating and implementing the principles of a Civilizational Magna Charta, neither to exert control over the civilizations, as trans-state mega-actors, into the 21st century).
