| Summary: | The global geopolitical flow from the current uni-multipolar order is directed towards the creation of a multipolar world, an increase in the number of power centers and models of economic and political systems that are different from the neoliberal economic and political model. The global geopolitical visions of Mahan, Mackinder and Spykman are still current. Although at the global level great powers and power centers are the holders of global economic and political trends that determine the fate of developing and small countries, the tendencies of changes in the world system that take place in the present conditions, in accordance with the legitimacy of geopolitical processes expressed in geopolitical history, will determine possible positions of small countries in complex geopolitical relations. The world has moved from the ideological division and bipolar balance of the power of the world states in the Cold War to a unipolar world order at the end of the Cold War, with the characteristic of immense imbalance and asymmetry in the distribution of wealth and power between the world center and the periphery, in the process of globalization after the Cold War, to the civilization conflict as a form of resistance to the power of a unipolar center and its domination, processes of democratization and universalization of single values, as well as the consequence of an increase in asymmetric globalization processes characterized by an increase in inequality and dependence. The central part of the geopolitical processes in the Cold War and post-Cold War world is geoeconomic relations in which countries of the periphery are in the position of accepting economic and political models, institutions and values of the developed countries, whereas global processes create relations of nonequivalent exchange of strong and weak actors and they do not provide socio-economic security of the weak actors in globalization process. The contradiction of the geopolitical concepts of great powers and geopolitical changes produce global geopolitical recomposition, which will determine the fate of small countries and their geopolitical position. They have to constantly coordinate their internal social factors in order to create the possibility to maximize benefits, that is minimize damage. . |
