Post-globalization and new contours of the future Modernity

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 social future. During the last two decades, the discourse of post-globalization exists as an alternative to the triumphant promotion of globalization as a neoliberal / neoconservative ideal for the world’s future in the context of the “end of history”. The post-globalization concept highlighting the limits of the globalization project serves as a possible heuristic tool for transcending its boundaries. But constructing the positive model of the social future requires a new set of concepts – new language – rooted in the driving forces of now-happening historical reality. This research helps to specify the direction of the further inquiry.
