ХОЛОДНАЯ ВОЙНА КАК УСЛОВИЕ ЦИВИЛИЗАЦИОННОГО КОНСЕНСУСА. "НОВЫЙ АТЛАНТИЗМ" КАК ИДЕОЛОГИЯ БУДУЩЕГО

Abstract

The article, based on the material of the American press, attempts to describe the possible direction of the future US administration's foreign policy towards China. It is concluded that the most realistic scenario is the continuation of a New Cold War with China, which was given the go-ahead by the Trump administration. The political balance between the interests of the upper and lower classes in American society will be achieved by bringing the conflict tension outside the Euro-Atlantic zone. The project of a New Cold War will allow the countries involved in this war to create a basis for solving the main problem of today-providing jobs for their own population, as well as to create and strengthen a bipartisan, left-right, or liberal-conservative consensus, similar to that formed after the Second World War in the United States and Europe on the basis of opposition to Soviet communism. An ideology that can be born out of the mutual elimination and mutual exhaustion of two unacceptable extremes in the post-quarantine era-liberal-globalism and national-populism-is called «new Atlanticism» in the article. The boundaries of Euro-Atlantic civilization, as well as the principles of its internal organization, will be determined within the framework of the «new Atlanticism» not by a confessional factor, but rather by a certain mobile set of secular attitudes ranging from moderate liberal conservatism to radical progressivism of the left-socialist sense.
