The Logic of the New World Political Architectonics: Praxis and Theory of Rethinking Multidimensional World and China ‘s Search of Its Place

The arising logic of the formation of multilayer polycentric world in the post-pandemic world is shown in this article. Formation stages in Russia of a theoretical knowledge about formation of the multidimensional, interdependent and polycentric world are analyzed. The attention is paid to practice of China search of its place in this new world. Benefits of comprehensive world regional studies as cross disciplinary methodology framework of the analysis of processes of the multidimensional and polycentric world and at the same time as a stage of formation of future theory of the multidimensional and interconnected polycentric world are shown. To help the explanation of the interconnectivity of the multilayer world of global regions the concepts of functionality and transregionalism are developed. Attention is paid to discussions about the place of Oriental (Asian and African) Studies in the Russian nomenclature of Social Sciences. Main directions of transforming International Relations as an academic discipline in Russia are shown.
