Globalist and nationally-oriented elites at the present stage of the world order reorganization: classification and differentiation aspects

Importance. The purpose of the study is the role and classification of globalist and nationallyoriented elites with clarification of the general and the specific aspects.Research Methods. The study is based on the application of the elitist approach methods in combination with elements of the civilizational paradigm, the interdisciplinary approach with its systemic and general scientific methods.Results and Discussion. The elites’ defense of national interests is what determines their competence/professionalism within the country and in the international arena. At the current stage of the reorganization of the world order, the combined quality of the nationally-oriented elites is such that the “re-elected” US president will have to reckon with them and compete with them. The Republican core of his group are realists and, in an attacking position, take into account the interests of world powers. The initial step in rapprochement is to achieve peace in Ukraine and deepen the negotiation process to establish it. Russia is presented in it by the vital priorities of its position, and America, rather, by the new “peacekeeping” face of D. Trump, than by the general line of the establishment.Conclusion. Crisis phenomena, having deepened the asymmetry of power, the nature of the actions of the elites, their relationships, complicate the dynamics of the reorganization of the world order. In this regard, it is important to understand the meanings and changes in the leading players’ classification in the relations system within countries and in the international arena. Where, by right of influence on the of the world reorganization processes, the political elites of our time should be classified into globalist and nationally-oriented power groups. The main criterion is the substantive focus of national interests associated with sovereignty and the behavior style of the state as the basic procedures for determining the political course and methods of its implementation. The challenge of the time for them is to achieve de-escalation of military actions in Ukraine, based on the assessment of threats and the model of dialogue. Developing prerequisites for it is the key task of the elites today. Moreover, there is more mental necessity for strategic dialogue, in the organizational and role structure of which “here and now”, than there are grounds for compromise.
