It is dedi- cated to different issues such as Eurasianism in its different aspects (from philosophy to integration process on post-Soviet space), geopolitics, international relations, war and peace studies, globalization, multipolarity and new emerging theories in fields of politics and humanitarian sciences. Because of its title covered themes are about processes in Eurasia, but not limit- ed by continental boundaries. Eurasia as an idea and Eurasianism as an outlook are international by it’s essence. In some sense the Journal of Eurasian Affairs is a interdisciplinary one where ideas cross from different schools, trends and sets that makes it a broad platform for discussion and forum for meetings of academic researchers, political activ- ists, philosophers, independent scholars, experts and decision makers. The red line of the Journal of Eurasian Affairs is a critical approach to (neo)liberalism and its derivatives manifested in realpolitik as well as in large scale of ac- tivities dealing with the human being itself. The need to develop an alternative is the second task, put before the founders of the Journal and core thinkers of the “Eurasian Movement“. We believe that writers from all over the globe will join us for the development (and revival) of these kind of ideas that will promote and establish a new model of global affairs and of political systems paying respect to all nations, peoples, groups, beliefs, cultures and traditions. The Journal of Eurasian Affairs invites contributors to send articles, essays and reviews. Leonid Savin, Editor. MULTIPOLARISM AS AN OPEN PROJECT Alexander Dugin I. MULTIPOLARISM AND “LAND POWER“ Geopolitics of the Land in the Global World In the previous part we discussed the subject of globalism, globalization, and Alexander Dugin mondialism in a view considered to be generally accepted and “conventional“. Professor of the Moscow State University, Geopolitical analysis of the phenomenon of the subject of globalism, Doctor of political sciences, founder of globalization, and mondialism has showed that in the modern globalism we only the contemporary Russian school of deal with one of the two geopolitical powers, namely, with a thalassocracy, a Geopolitics, leader of the International Social Movement “Eurasian Movement“, “Sea Power“ that from now on claims for uniqueness, totality, and normativeness Moscow, Russian Federation and strives to pretend to be the only possible civilization, sociological and geopolitical condition of the world. Therewith, the philosophy of globalism is based upon the internal surety with universalism of exactly the Western-European value system thought to be the summa- ry of all the diverse experience of the human cultures on all stages of their history. And finally, in its roots, globalization has an active ideology (mondialism) and power structures that spread and bring this ideology into use. If taking into account that the latter are the most authoritative intellectual US centers (such as CFR and neoconservatives), structures of the US Supreme Military Command and their analysts (Owens, Sibrowsky, Barnett, Garstka), international oligarchs (such as George Soros), a number of international organizations (The Bilderberg Club, Trilateral Commission, etc.), and innumerous amount of analysts, politi- cians, journalists, scientists, economists, people of culture and art, and IT sector employees spread all over the world, we can understand the reason why this ideology seems to be something that goes without saying for us. That we some- times take globalization as an “objective process“ is the result of a huge manipu- lation with public opinion and the fruit of a total information war. Therefore, the picture of global processes we described is an affirmation of the real state of affairs just in part. In such a description, there is a significant share of a normative and imperative volitional (ideological) wish that everything should be quite so, which means, it is based upon wrenches and, to some extent, striving to represent our wishful thinking as reality. In this part, we will describe an absolutely different point of view on globalization and globalism that is impossible from inside the “Sea Power“, i.e. out of the environment of the nominal “Global World“. Such a view is not taken into account either in antiglobalism or in alterglobalism because it refuses from the most fundamental philosophical and ideological grounds of Eurocentrism. Such a view rejects the faith in: • universalism of the Western values, that Western societies, in their history, have passed the only possible way all the other countries are expected to pass; JOURNAL OF EURASIAN AFFAIRS Volume 1, Number 1, 2013 5 Multipolarism as an Open Project Alexander Dugin • progress as an indisputable forwardness of historical is organized.
