CENTRAL EURASIA: LOBALIZATION AND GEOPOLITICAL EVOLUTION
Abstract
The profound changes going on in the geopolitical and geo-economic structures of the world community, as well as the transformation of sociopolitical systems are evidence that the world is entering a qualitatively new geopolitical era—the era of globalization.
A new planetary “Poly civilization” is arising on the basis of an intrinsic combination of unity and indivisibility of the world community, on the one hand, and diversification and pluralism of centers, nations, and religious-cultural communities, on the other. The information and telecommunication revolution in the industrially developed part of the world is gradually turning the post-industrial society into a high-tech information community. By making use of the latest achievements in science and technology, globalization is bringing countries and entire civilizations closer together in real time and is encouraging them to find a joint and adequate response to urgent global problems.
Globalization is not only changing the development and appearance of the world economy, but also its structure, since it is creating global interdependence, whereby communities are integrating into a single whole.
But globalization is manifesting itself in different ways in each state and region—in some it is encompassing the economic sphere more, while in others, new technologies are being introduced faster. What is more, different countries and regions are ready and willing to become incorporated into the globalization processes at different times. For certain historical reasons—political isolation or self-isolation, technological and eco-nomic potential, inbred traditions of autarchy—Some countries remain on the periphery of globalization. Moreover, globalization today is accelerating at such a rate that the gap between the countries and regions spearheading this process and the rest of the world, that is, the biggest chunk, is widening with every passing year.
