Abstract
The central issue of post-image politics will be the question of whether the pandemic will bring about an anti-democratic rollback and an evolving authoritarianization of power, or, on the contrary, will become an impetus for the positive development of democracy, an increase in the role of civil society and political participation of citizens. Objectively, world politics will experience unprecedented transformational pressures under the influence of the ongoing pandemic crisis, but, at the same time, it will face a choice – to maintain the crisis stagnation, hoping to just survive, or perceive the crisis as a source of new opportunities for the development and progress.Keywords:politics; globalization; parties; political process; democracy; elections; coronavirusReferences
