Globalization as an expected result of the historical process and its modern interpretations

The article presents a socio-philosophical analysis of different efforts to understand the problem of globalization. Within the framework of the methodological tradition of civilization approach, we have singled out three main trends in interpretation of the globalization process: globalization skepticism, transformism and hyperglobalism. Each of these trends, in turn, include a number of theories of special interest. In general, representatives of skepticism deny the existence of globalization, they argue that the confrontation between civilizations is increasing. Proponents of transformism consider that there is a proliferation of Western modernization institutions based on capitalism and democracy, and the role of nation-states that require glocalization is growing. Supporters of hyperglobalism claim the inevitability of a common future for all mankind. We conclude that globalization is the result of an objective historical process that cannot be avoided.
