Description
Summary:Aim . To identify the most relevant political worldviews of the Eurasian space in the discourse of Russian think-tanks.Tasks. To justify the conceptual field of the concept “political worldview”. To identify the leading think-tanks in Russia, the focus of research of which is the political worldviews of the Eurasian continent. Study the intellectual products of Russian think-tanks for concepts, analyzes, forecasts, political views and positions on the main political worldviews of the Eurasian space.Methods. The main methods were cross-temporal analysis and content analysis of intellectual products of think-tanks, as well as general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis.Results.  The concept of “political worldview” is a   system of images,  views and actions expressed in political institutions, interconnectedly reflecting the strategic directions of political, economic, social, environmental, technological development. A meaningful analysis of the expert and analytical products of Russian think tanks over a  ten-year period  made it possible to select nine organizations whose intellectual specialization focuses on the development of the Eurasian space. The study showed that the following concepts of political pictures of the world are present in the communicative practice of these analytical centers: “Greater Eurasia”, BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), “Belt and Road Initiative”, “Community of Shared Future for mankind”.Conclusions.  The study of the analytical materials of the selected think tanks shows a   steady high  research interest in the development of the Eurasian space and political worldviews of the countries of the Eurasian continent. Think-tanks in the political system, in fact, perform the functions of subjects that generate, construct and broadcast political worldviews. In the modern realities of global turbulence and high entropy, the political worldviews of Eurasia acquire a  pronounced ideological actualization, as they become symbolic institutions in the global competitive field of confrontation of variety of worldviews.
