Theories of the global world order: expectations and reality

The conflict situation after World War II was variable: from the brink of the outbreak of World War III (the Caribbean crisis of 1962, which became the most dangerous of the crises of the Cold War period) to relative stabilization (the period of perestroika of the era of M. S. Gorbachev, which, as it seemed then, reduced to zero all contradictions between the two sides of the bipolar world). However, the scientific community even then saw the upcoming great transformation of the system of international relations and the global world order, put forward its hypotheses about its course and options for building a future world. The well-known theories of the global world order (I. Wallerstein, S. Huntington, F. Fukuyama), partially implemented, require analysis to identify the level of expected and implementation of the global world order achieved in the transformation, as well as the formation of a new system of international relations, which came into a deep crisis as a result of provocations of Western countries. The analysis will make it possible to evaluate the presented scientific works for the reliability of the forecasts made by their authors, which, in turn, will provide an opportunity to see the trends of formation and development prospects in the XXI century. a new, fairer multipolar world. Based on the presented concepts, it is necessary to develop a new theory of the global world order that meets modern realities, taking into account the realized provisions and potential possibilities for its formation.
