Ideological Foundations of the Militarization of World Politics in a Multipolar Era

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the ideological foundations of the militarized politics in the multipolar era, which allows us to identify key trends and patterns in this field. Scientific ideas about the spiritual roots of traditional and imperialist militarism are being systematized, which allows for a deeper understanding of the nature and functioning of these mechanisms. Based on the analysis of the achievements of political thought, it is concluded that there is an inherent militaristic potential in the context of modern global transformations. The results of the study emphasize the need to take into account moral, ideological, and political aspects when determining the level of militarization in the world community during the transition from a post-bipolar world order to a multipolar system. The article proves the close relationship between the development of the spiritual sphere of international relations and the content of military-political expansionism in the postmodern era, which makes it possible to identify dialectical prerequisites for the development and limitations of militarism in the context of globalization. There is a mimicry of militaristic manifestations in post-industrial countries that are successfully adapting to modern realities, which indicates the ability of militarism to evolve and expand its technological and ideological arsenal. As a result, the potential of military-political expansionism is used to influence public consciousness by subjects who are initially antagonistic to the ideology of militarism. Ideological and political concepts of a statist nature are recognized as the main competitor of the transnational ideological paradigm of militarization in the new world order, which requires further in-depth analysis and development of strategies to counter militaristic tendencies.
