Abstract: An article deals with social and political aspects of the pandemic. Particularly, it focuses on six dimensions of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic in various macro-regions of the world. First, it identifies global risks and their consequences. Second, it addresses social issues of solidarity, fear and injustice in struggles for survival and social recognition in intersubjective relations. Third, it maps a quick process of establishment of boundaries, breaking international and transnational interactions and also fragmenting countries into smaller units according to the outbreak. Fourth, it analyses the main different approaches of public institutions to the pandemic in different parts of the world. Fifth, it articulates scenarios of possible future development. Sixth, it formulates a new reconfiguration of global forces, including possible economic, political and other conflicts. In the end, the article touches a problem of racism and xenophobia in the pandemic times, and sees positive possibilities of mutual understanding and cooperation.

Key words: Pandemic – Coronavirus – Local – Global – Macroregions – Modernity – Conflicts – Cooperation – COVID-19​​​
