The modern world system: regrouping of forces

The process of regrouping of geopolitical forces in world politics after the collapse of the Soviet Union is analyzed. This process began in Eurasia, but now it’s taking the form of a new, polycentric world order. New centers of geopolitical gravity are emerging, around which the “building blocks” of the new world order are being formed. At the same time, the “world liberal order” that emerged after the collapse of the USSR enters into an insoluble contradiction with the urgent needs of rapidly developing humankind. Today, one of the pivotal supporting structures of the polycentric world is the BRICS platform, which progressively involves countries and regions into the orbit of its activities. The new geopolitical reality presents very complex problems to the world that must be solved on the basis of the principles of development, justice and the accommodation and integration of numerous national interests.
