Between Globalism and Regionalism: Visions of World Order in the Indo-Pacific
( Pp. 13-20)

The growing influence of the Indo-Pacific region (IPR) in world politics is one of the most important megatrends of our time. This process is accompanied by the growing influence of small and medium-sized Asian states in global and regional politics, their aspiration for greater subjectivity in international relations and their reliance on their own traditions to justify their worldview and foreign policy. The Westphalia model of international order, formed on the basis of the traditions of European law and values, is being criticized and pressured by non-Western actors in international relations. The article analyzes assessments, proposals and theoretical ideas in the countries of the Indo-Pacific region about the modern world order and possible forms of its restructuring. The study reveals a variety of claims to the Eurocentric model of the world order on the part of Asian actors, most of whom oppose the «order based on international law» to an international order that takes into account their historical traditions, experience and values. The analysis of the content of proposals to reform the world order shows the absence of a universal approach. The growing fragmentation of the world order does not mean its disintegration. The new universality lies in recognizing the diversity of states, societies and regions. The modern world must give way to a more pluralistic «multiplex world».
