Iryna Rabotyagova V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University (Kharkiv, Ukraine) East & West: Separation Problem Global politics became multipole and began giving proper weigh to many civilizations interactions at once for the first time in the formed after the Cold War ending world. After the bipolar world collapse a new world originated, defining a new confrontation line based on East and West contraposition by 90s. During all human history the intercivilization contacts existed or had a sporadic nature. Contemporary period global politics (since 1500 B.C.) exists in two dimensions. During more than 400 year period Western national states (such as Britain, France, Spain, Austria, Prussia, United States so on) constituted world multipolar limited in Western civilization system, interacting, supplementing, waging war with each other, opposing themselves to another defined as backward in different manifestations Eastern civilization. The same time Western nations realized expansion, waged colonial wars, making the decisive influence on other civilizations in different ways. Within the nearest future the interactions between the West and the number of MoslemKonfucian states will be the main conflict focus – S. Huntington notes. Defining the future interaction nature between East and West the consideration of growing Western values penetration into the Eastern culture and vice versa is necessary. The cultural scope between East and West in globalization period becomes more and more degraded. East and West are homogeneous and monolithic no more neither in cultural nor in political sphere, the new authorities and tendencies appear especially in rapidly liberalizing East. Conflicting tendencies should make every East&West future interaction analysis considering the changes dynamics, the culture and traditions variety.
