Abstract

The present situation in the world has been characterized as the beginning of “post-globalization”. Apparently, the growth of de-globalizing trends urges researchers to look for new approaches in studies of global processes. The article argues that a promising avenue in this field is the sociological multiple modernities perspective. One can speak of various globalizing trends connected with different versions of modernity. Thus, the Soviet model of modernity has been described as an alternative mode of globalization which competed with the liberal western mode but ultimately failed. Today’s China represents a presumably more successful alternative mode of globalization.
