The formation of global multipolarity in the modern phase of global economic transformations

Introduction. The new culture of the 21st century also forms the boundaries of the clash of civilizations, conflicts between a centralized hierarchy and a flexiblenetwork culture. The stage of global economic development demonstrates the exhaustion of development potential, as a result of which the outlines of scenarios for building a new multipolar global system have emerged. Goal. Highlighting the problems of the formation of global multipolarity in the modern phase of global economic transformations Materials and methods. The research is based on the generalization and systematization of the patterns of civilizational development, the challenges of the crisis of neoliberal globalization and the possibilities of overcoming it are identified. A comparison of neoliberal globalization and multipolar models of development is carried out. The methodological basis of the research is the works of domestic and foreign economists in the field of global economic transformation processes. Results and discussion. In the course of the work, it was found that a fairly new system of external relations is being constructed – the post-Westphalian structure of world relations. The identified signs of the current phase of global transformations give reason to believe that all the many scenarios of global development can be divided into two main groups – optimistic and pessimistic. The formation of integrity in the structure of a Megasocium accumulates the potential for destruction according to the laws of the development of complex systems, as evidenced by the contradictions and threats of the confrontational processes of globalization. Neoliberal globalization systematically and deliberately destroyed the integrity of established societies and states, existing national and economic complexes, cultures, religions, value systems, and priorities, turning into neocolonialism. Conclusion. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the new culture of the 21st century forms the boundaries of the clash of civilizations, conflicts between a centralized hierarchy and a flexible network culture. The stage of global economic development demonstrates the exhaustion of development potential, as a result of which the contours of scenarios for building a global system have emerged. On the other hand, these challenges threaten the further development of globalization processes, giving rise to the creation of new national security systems, transnational entities, and a clear departure from the unipolar world with the transition to other centers of influence
