CIVILIZATIONAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE MODERN WORLD POLITICAL CRISIS
https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-676X-2022-3-7-20
Abstract
Aim. To find explanations of the nature of the modern global political crisis through the prism of the theory of civilizational development.
Methodology. The research methodology is based on the civilizational approach in the analysis of world social processes. The course of the history of individual civilizations and the world as a whole is considered on the basis of the “civilizational pendulum” model. The key method was the use of historical analogies as history lessons for current politics.
Results. The study has confirmed the hypothesis about the production of crisis processes in complex social systems and at the level of humanity as a whole while ignoring civilizational factors of development. The denial of the civilizational and value variability of the world in global politics is the fundamental basis of the current global political crisis.
Research implications. The present study can be used as a theoretical basis in developing approaches to correlating global politics and the policies of nation states considering the fact of the existence of world civilizations.
