POST-GLOBALIZATION AND THE SEARCH FOR THE NEW MODEL OF THE FUTURE.

Yuri Asochakov

Abstract

This article is intended to discuss the prospects and the ways of constructing a new model of global development in a situation of factual and theoretical uncertainty indicated in social and political science by the concept of post-globalization. It aims at analyzing the critical and theoretical potential of the concept of post-globalization for understanding the direction of shifting the paradigms of conceptualization of the future. This research is based on contextualization, theoretical analysis, and conceptualization of the post-globalization critique of the results and further prospects of globalization. It analyzes the heuristic and political erosion of the concept of globalization and follows the development of the new alternative model of the future abandoning the prescribed unilineal logic of the latent unipolar geography/class/ideology interests and based upon the dialectics of the complexity of the real historical development. I describe three paradigms of theoretical constructing of the future, aligning the post-globalization conception with the dialectical approach. The results of this research contribute to developing the methodology of examining alternative models of future sustainable development. The post-globalization concept highlighting the limits of the globalization project serves as a possible heuristic tool for transcending its boundaries. As most of other “post-” concepts, it summarizes and indicates the uncertain, unstable – negative - aspects of its pre-“post” counterpart revealing the conflicting elements and thus can serve as a starting point of the analysis. This research helps to specify the direction of the further inquiry.
