development of the country in recent times
Despite some volatility in international relations, there was a certain convergence of countries with roughly the same level of political and economic development.By the second half of the 20th century marked the integration of regional communities.This was evident in the future potential of the merger.The most striking example of this integration is the formation of the European Union.Legal and government of several countries to influence these processes itself underwent important and often highly controversial changes.The historical development of many of them was full of critical situations, a sort of zigzag or irregular.
main directions of development of
By the end of the 20th century was the obvious choice of all the inevitability of a democratic way in the world.Why did this happen?There are a number of key areas of development in modern times.The periodization of the process includes the following steps: the evolution of liberal democracy, the formation of the social structure, the temporary establishment of an authoritarian regime (one of the best examples is the Nazi regime in Germany), the formation of the socialist state, and differs significantly from the Nazis, and the liberal democracy.
