The article offers a conceptual analysis of the ideological
and value landscape of the post-bipolar era from the standpoint of political
axiology. The development of international relations systems is considered
from the point of view of the development of socio-political thought and value
orientations of the main actors of world politics. Particular attention is paid to
the current position of the East–West dichotomy in the conceptual space of
Western political discourse, the critical analysis of universalist concepts, as
well as the correlation of the concept of a “multipolar world” with cultural and
historical relativism and the civilizational diversity of the peoples of the world.
