Abstract: Current global transformations are characterized not just by a complex change in the balance of power in world politics and economics, but also by at least a partial change in the architecture and organizational framework of political and economic relations at the global and regional levels. This is partly due to the fact that, due to objective and subjective reasons, it was not possible to launch the mechanism of “contractual” and evolutionary dismantling of geo-economic American-centricity, as a result of which these processes began to have not just a political, but a military-force character. The main question, however, is to what extent, within the current cycle of transformations at the global level, it will be possible to preserve those supra-spatial systems that, being fundamentally American-centric, ensured the American-centricity of the latest version of globalization as a whole. A curious dialectic of the development of current global transformations arises, saying that one of their most important features, if not the dominant ones, is a “rollback” to development paradigms characteristic of earlier historical (socio-historical and cultural-historical) eras, which actually means from a conceptual point of view, a break in the connection of not only cultural and political, but also economic modernity with postmodernity, which is now dominant in the world of the collective West. This predetermines the revolutionary nature of changes in the organization of political and economic relations, in particular the possibility of breaking existing relations of economic interdependence, as well as the fundamental impossibility of returning to the situation of the early 2020s, even if unfavorable for countries with antiWestern positions, especially Russia and China, the development of military-political processes.
