The subject is multipolar globalization formed in the context of globomonocentrism and globopolycentrism confrontation. The aim is to study the process of globalization in its main (current and potential) manifestations, including bipolar, unipolar and multipolar models. Their essence and specificity are considered, their effectiveness is assessed, philosophical and worldview foundation is found. F. Fukuyama’s, S. Huntington’s, Z. Brzezinski’s conceptions are analyzed as a philosophical and worldview foundation of globomonocentrism; philosophical ideas of N. Y. Danilevsky, K. N. Trubetskoy, P. N. Savitsky — of globopolycentrism. It’s concluded that there’s a need to revise the global world order from a unipolar to a multipolar format. The importance of globopolycentrism as an alternative development strategy opposing neocolonialism is emphasized. Constructing a multipolar world is necessary to strengthen the civilizational sovereignty of modern Russia and other countries of the world. The article uses historical, logical and comparative methods of analysis, the civilizational approach as a methodological instrument to substantiate the multipolarity. The main conclusions are the following: globalization as a form of interaction between civilizations isn’t identical to globomonocentrism. It’s one of the forms (not the only and not the most perfect) of constructing the interaction of civilizations. Modern globomonocentrism (in fact, americanocentrism) tries to reconstruct the world in the interests of a neocolonial regime. An alternative form of civilizational coexistence, providing protection from neocolonialism, is a multipolar world. Today we can’t talk about abandoning globalization as a whole, only about changing its format from unipolar to multipolar globalization. Multipolarity basing on the worldview principle of globopolycentrism perceives other (not only highly developed) countries as equal partners. The globopolycentric model of a multipolar world has flaws as well as the bipolar and unipolar models, but it’s much more connected with objective reality and, therefore, gives humanity a chance to overcome global geopolitical crises.
