Some new aspects of the transformation of the Eurasia’ political landscape

Annotation

As a result of the unleashing of a hybrid war and the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, the issues of further development of the Eurasian integration process, closely related to changes in the political leadership of the new state entities of Eurasia, are becoming relevant again. The aim of the work is to identify relevant aspects of the transformation process of the political landscape of Eurasia due to the coming to power of a new generation of political actors. The materials for the article are changes in the leadership of the EAEU member states, their foreign policy orientation and international contacts of these states, as well as scientific works of domestic and foreign authors on the transition to a multipolar world order. Comparative-analytical and other general scientific methods, historical, transdisciplinary, systematic approaches are used for the analysis. The results of the study were discussed at scientific conferences in the countries of Eurasia (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Russia), the Eurasian Scientific Forum. The analysis is based on the principle of historicism and made it possible to show new aspects in the foreign policy of the former Soviet republics, their participation in the transformation of the political landscape on the continent. There was an opportunity to characterize the features of the changing generations of political actors, to identify the need to expand the scientific and educational space based on the traditional values of Euro-Asian peoples. Attention is paid to the terminology used in the modern political science lexicon, some clarifications of the concepts used are proposed.
