Abstract

The article contemplates the views on modern phase of world civilization development that were elaborated in the researches of globalization and world-system analysis. It is emphasized that the research of globalization and WSA are competitive analytical perspectives. While the research of globalization consider modern period as a qualitatively new phase of global system formation, world system analysis asserts that the essence of new great transformation consists in the crisis of modern global capitalist system and transition to a new historical one. Comparison between the research of globalization and world-system analysis demonstrates that the latter provides more clear picture of social reality.
