Abstract. Our time is the period of milestones’ shift, of the most dramatic changes. Geopolitics is one of the areas of mankind’ being where we can especially manifestly see how the history has quickened its run. The author analyses the developments of the last decade of the recent century and the first decade of this century. These decades faced two major geopolitical shifts, each of which has led to a radical change of the world’s landscape. The result was a sharp turn in the international political and economic relations, namely the breaking down of the unipolar order and the formation of a polycentric world. Major changes have taken place and continue to undergo in the balance and the alignment of forces on the arena of entire continents and in a planetary scale. Hundreds millions of people are increasingly involved in the historical creativity.
Keywords: geopolitics, global configuration, developing countries, great powers, transformation, financial and economic crisis
