World’s Macro-Regions: Divergent and Convergent Trends since Early 1970s
Original language description
Current global trends are in the focus of scientific research. This article deals with one of the crucial problems: do the differences among different parts of the world tend to grow or not? In other words, what prevails globally: divergent or convergent processes? Global changes are studied in specially designated parts of the world, so-called world’s macro-regions. Changes in the period 1970–2016 (when multipolar world has replaced the bipolar one) are examined. Using different methodical approaches, the study aims to clarify which global process are rather divergent/convergent and how these processes look like in different world’s macro-regions. For several reasons, especially in the pursuit of economic growth and the fulfillment of geopolitical interests, today several states and macro-regions are trying not only to gain regional dominance, but also to gain the position of a global world player. Changing character of global trends are discussed, too.
