PROCESSES OF GLOBALIZATION AND DEGLOBALIZATION IN CONDITIONS OF GROWING CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE USA AND CHINA AND RUSSIA’S INTERESTS

Abstract

According to the authors of the article, issues of globalization and deglobalization need to be considered primarily through the prism of the growing confrontation between the two largest states in the world – USA and China. The scale and depth of this confrontation is growing; it is becoming more and more ideological, as well as political-military in character. United States due to a complex set of internal problems are now the main driving force behind deglobalization, although 25–30 years ago it was this country that was at the forefront of the reverse process – globalization. On the contrary, the leadership of the PRC, which has received great benefits from participation in the economic globalization, including within the framework of the World Trade Organization, persistently demonstrates its commitment to the growing economic interdependence of countries and regions. This commitment is noted, among other things, in Russian–Chinese documents of the highest level. The processes of globalization and deglobalization are of great importance for the socio-economic development of Russia, whose economy is part of the world economy, despite all the antirussian efforts of the collective West as part of its hybrid war against the Russian Federation.
