Globalization and autarky in the XXI century
The article analyzes such phenomena as globalization and autarky. Significant difficulty in determining the main trend in the development of human society arises in the beginning of 21th century. The 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century were the era of a struggle between autarkies, while the second half of the 20th century was the era of the struggle between two projects of globalization - the communist and the capitalist. After the collapse of the USSR, researchers begin to talk about the inevitability of one project - the capitalist project of western liberal democracies. However, the beginning of the 21st century is marked by increased international tension and increased protectionist measures, and in this regard, autarky and imperialism are again on the agenda. Reasoning on this topic, the author draws a conclusion about a hybrid of globalization and autarky and a new clash of modern globalization projects.
