Global conflicts, be they economic, political, cultural, or military ones, are big challenges in the age of world interactions. The article concentrates on conflicts and dangers of the future possible global state which can be the result of the current development of global capitalism. It tries to capture to the greatest possible extent these integrating trends, not only in order to clarify their shape and potentials over last recent decades, but also to show the thematic areas of the developmental processes of global conflicts. There is a need to deal with potential global tendencies in the form of planetary homogenisation, supranational authoritarian tendencies, and a world war, and to formulate possible normative solutions to these by a multi-level arrangement (local, national, macro-regional, and global levels). The article stresses that the analysis of negative and positive aspects of the global state presupposes its complex critical concept. It articulates the basis for a critical theory of (mis)recognition of the global state. In the end, the article indicates how, in the conflict zones and peripheries, the global poor as a potential new subject of social change can contribute to the positive development and solutions to the conflicts and dangers.
