Аннотация:The beginning of Russia's special operation in Ukraine at the end of February 2022 has been a powerful catalyst, both in the USA and in other countries of the "collective West", for a noteworthy number of theoretical works and journalistic essays on the theme of the inevitable end of globalization, at least in the forms in which globalization has manifested itself since the early 1990s, that is, for the last 25 - 30 years. Apocalyptic forecasts about "the end of globalization", which have replaced theoretical constructs in line with F. Fukuyama's optimistic "end of history", impose to look at modern globalization processes in a broader historical context. The formation of the world economy and scientific and technological progress – both in past historical periods, starting from about the last third of the ninetieth century, and nowadays – have generated and are generating wave-like globalization processes, which are based on a number of clearly identifiable patterns.
