Специфіка концептуалізації поняття «глобальна політика»

Стверджується про поширеність терміна «глобальна політика» за відсутності його чіткого визначення. Зроблено спробу його окреслити за допомогою праць Е. Хейвуда, Н. Косолапова і Дж. Модельскі. Вказано, що поняття позначає боротьбу за владу у межах планети, її використання для реалізації курсу глобального управління і функціонування політичної системи Землі. The analysis of the term «global policy» is based on the interpretations of its component parts, namely «globality» and «policy», made by E. Haywood and N. Kosolapov. The author understands the term «global policy» as a combination of the struggle for power on the planet, the implementation of the particular policy, aimed at solving global problems and the existence of the political community of global importance. The global policy level is the highest from the geographical and functional viewpoints. It involves the following hierarchical levels: the level of the Earth’s regions, the level of some «civilisations» («worlds») as well as the level of international, national, state and local regions. According to N. Kosolapov, these hierarchical levels differ in the content, scope and importance of problems solved at these levels and their decision consequences. Economic factors promote the interdependence of individuals, countries and the Earth’s regions and require the development of global governance. In order to understand the phenomenon of global politics, E. Haywood distinguishes the following significant problems: the problem of continuity in global politics, conquests, retention and implementation of global power, ensuring global security and justice. The continuity in global politics depends on the evolution that promotes the complication of the global political system. Large countries are eager to possess global power striving for hegemony. Nowadays they share the global power with numerous non-state actors. The state, being the winner in the struggle for hegemony, implements a certain global policy while providing the humanity with some social benefits which include global security and the equitable distribution of resources among different population groups.
