MACROFLUCTUATIONS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GLOBAL TURBULENCE AND HYBRID WARS

Abstract

This article carries out the phenomenological research of the “international system” through methodological synthesis. Features and various types of this system are critically organized. The transitive type and character of the modern global system of “disbalance and mutual equilibriums” fluctuating within the vectors of unipolarity and multipolarity in the conditions of competition of centers of global influence with different capacities (the USA, the EU, China and Japan, the Russian Federation, the leaders of the Middle East) is substantiated. Article explores “geopolitical shifts” as factors that have created the global turbulence and macro fluctuations of the transitional international system. Hybrid wars became one of the most destabilizing factors of the contemporary international system, fostering its turbulence. The article proves that the hybrid war is a combination of the partisan and civil war, as well as rebellion and terrorism.
