GEOPOLITICAL FOUNDATIONS OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY STRATEGY ON ESTABLISHING THE NEW WORLD ORDER

Academic and political establishment in the United States traditionally abides by two approaches towards the implementation of foreign policy. That is isolationism, on the one hand, and globalism (internationalism), on the other. These approaches are based on different principles of foreign policy actions, namely, non-involvement in the affairs of Eurasia and those of the world in general (isolationism) and, on the contrary, active geopolitical and geo-economic expansion (globalism). Despite certain contradictions in choosing foreign policy instruments, in particular, the concepts of “soft power” or “hard power”, unilateral or multilateral actions, representatives of each of these schools of thought adhere to the main fundamental principle of the U.S. foreign policy, that is, the defense of U.S. national interests in the face of the “image of enemy”. Therefore, globalists and isolationists, “realists” and “idealists”, the so-called “hawks” and “doves” in the American foreign policy establishment are jointly countering the “external threat”. Since the Cold War period, such a “threat” has been traditionally identified in the face of Russia. Around her, first and foremost, “the image of enemy” is being formed. The article deals with geopolitical concepts of U.S. foreign policy, which preconditioned global expansion of that country on the international arena, such as the moving “Frontier” concept, the “Anaconda” concept, the “Heartland” concept, the “Rimland” concept and etc. Considering the aggressive nature of the U.S. foreign policy, the analysis of the above concepts allows to considering the latter as being the geostrategy, which is aimed at establishing the new world order. The analysis of its geopolitical foundations allows us to reveal fundamental processes in world politics and to predict possible scenarios of the coming world order. The research of the geopolitical foundations of the U.S. strategy also makes it possible understanding of the true reasons for the U.S. opposing the Eurasian integration process.
