Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we start from the fact that today it is ungrateful to predict the future. The same can be argued with the cognition that the future is more uncertain than ever before, because the current globalization differs in many ways from that of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and crises follow each other in short intervals. In this sense, globalization, in addition to the economic one, also gave rise to social, ecological, technological, political and, finally, military action, which especially escalated at the end of the twentieth and in the first decades of the twenty-first century. Hence, no country, no matter how strong it is, and regardless of whether it wants to impose its will on others or avoid it, cannot solve its problems alone. At the same time, thanks to operations in several countries, i.e. cross-border, today"s multinational corporations dictate the course of globalization on a global level, which continuously threatens the world with totalitarianism and the complete Orwellization of the individual and collective existence of human society in general. Finally, the question is whether small, underdeveloped states are aware of the historical opportunity to revise their own development models of the ”bottom-up” type, which basically boils down to the necessity of accepting the approach of decolonization.
