Description
Summary:Political theories, which are constantly upgrading and changing, are the foundation for creation of national and state ideologies. World powers strive towards spreading their own national interests through encouraging other countries of the world to accept their ideologies based on their own political theories. The geopolitical variability, not only regarding the spatial, but also the temporal factor, impacts the creation of new theoretical explanations and assessments. Liberalism as a dominant political theory in all its forms is no longer primary and present as it was in the beginning of the twenty first century. In the East emerges a new view and a new alternative to contemporary liberalism. The NeoEuroasian geopolitical vector is creating conditions for a more influential role of Russia in the contemporary world. After the crisis in the end of the previous and the beginning of this century, Russia stabilized its economy and formed a new state system which influenced it to become a strong competitor to the US in the geopolitical space. According to Vladislav Surkov, Putinism is the future of the Russian power, and sovereign democracy is the paradigm of its influence. In conclusion, this contemporary Russian political theory is in its beginning, not only within but also outside the Russian borders, searching for its path as the model of future, representing the manner for fulfilling the Russian foreign policy goals and interests. In this research, we will use the methods of analysis, synthesis, hypotethicaldeductive method, document content analysis, as well as comparative method.
