The New World Architectonics, Macroregional Transformations of Potentially Global Character and the Significance of Chinese Experience

The world becomes polycentric, but the theoretical foundations of this state of affairs remain not fully explained yet. The necessity to create a national-oriented theory of international relations is proclaimed. The question of a possibility of «tightening» macroregions in the form of a «Greater Eastern Asia» and «Greater Eurasia» is raised as well as the transformations of China being at least an influencing factor at the macroregional level with consequences of potentially global significance. It is possible to hypothesize that specifics of a megatrend of regional transformations of potentially global character may be connected with a rise of China to a global level and risks and consequences of this process. Since China has internal and external challenges, further development will be dependent on the level of China’s integration into world processes as well as wills, perspectives, and consequences of other states’ involvement in the orbit of common political-economic interests, humanistic nature of these processes as well as reactions of the world to them.
