【 摘 要 】

The article focuses on the theoretical and practical explanations of political and economic processes in the “post-Western” international reality. Proceeding from the assumptions of the complex system theory, the authors prove the necessity to use already established analytical approaches in combination with the newly developed ones to be able to understand and forecast the spatial-temporal evolution of the international system as a complex system. International political economy and world regional studies now investigate the empirical aspects of working out the most competitive and simultaneously most stable socio-political and politicaleconomic model of development. These studies also search for the ways national versions of development can become closer to this model and analyze to what extent regional/national models may differ from it without losing their international competitiveness. Exploring the evolution of the international system and political and economic transformations in the world leading states the authors conclude that a polycentric world cannot sustain a growing geopolitical confrontation and struggle for the geopolitical infl uence over the buffer areas. The polycentric international system requires a consensual elaboration of mutually benefi cial regional policies aimed at building transregional links between various regional areas. Reducing the instability in its regional and national segments the international system will move towards its overall greater stability. The authors further support this assumption analyzing transregional projects in Eurasia and the AsiaPacific region.
