Abstract
One of megatrends of the 21st century is establishment of the new world order. Within this megatrend we can distinguish some trends that require special attention. Among them are the following: at the global level: formation of a new international system among a bigger new group of leading world powers (great powers) that are dramatically different in their characteristics; at the macroregional level: formation of new subsystems with core-countries; at the regional level: redistribution of influence between regional powers within big subsystems like transatlantic or possible transpacific subsystems. In the following paper we shall analyze some trends that take place, paying special attention to a Eurasian subsystem “Small Eurasia” that includes most of the former Soviet republics (excluding the Baltic States).
