Abstract
The article compares the approaches to the study of the contemporary stage of development of world civilization that were developed in the concepts of globalization and world-systems analysis. It is emphasized that the globalization studies and WSA are competing analytical perspectives. While the globalization studies consider the contemporary period of social development as a qualitatively new global stage in the history of humanity, the world-systems analysis argues that the essence of a new historical stage is the crisis of the modern global capitalist system and its transformation towards the new historical system. A comparison study of globalization and world-systems analysis demonstrates that the latter provides more clear picture of social reality. The world-system reinterpretation of the concept of globalizations is proposed.

Summary
The article compares the approaches to the study of the contemporary stage of development of world civilization that were developed in the concepts of globalization and world-systems analysis. Если отказаться от идеи сращивания ранее самостоятельных социальных организмов (обществ, государств или цивилизаций) в единый глобальный социально-экономический организм, как тогда может быть рационально осмыслен процесс глобализации с точки зрения МСА?
