A special interest is manifested towards non-Western theories of international relations. The article analyzes the reasons for such interest. It is noted that the main motive for scholars to search for national schools is the transformation of the political organization of the world that emerged in the West and was developing largely on the Western model. This transformation encompasses three levels of political organization of the modern world: the Westphalian system, the system of international (interstate) relations and the political systems of a state. Three levels of political organization of the world changing at the same time today reinforce each other and generate synergies. With such a large-scale transformation, when all three levels are “moving”, the world is facing for the first time, although the change of the second and especially the third levels were before. As far as the system of political organization of the world undergoes major changes, IR theories, which appeared in the West, are in crisis. Researchers’ attention to non-Western, primarily Asian TMO to find answers due to the following reasons: 1) the rapid economic growth of the region; 2) the development of scientific research in Asia; 3) the crisis of the Western model of political organization in the world that encourages the search for solutions in other civilizational structures. The article substantiates the necessity and possibility of “project activities” for reforming the political organization of the world and include practices that exist in different regions of the world. In order to implement such activities, the work of specialists from different brunches of social sciences is required.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В последние годы в российской и зарубежной литературе все чаще поднимается вопрос о национальных теориях международных отношений (ТМО). При этом особый интерес проявляется к незападным ТМО. В статье анализируются причины такого интереса. Отмечается, что основным мотивом, побуждающим исследователей к поиску национальных школ ТМО, является трансформация системы политической организации мира, возникшей на Западе и развивавшейся во многом по западным образцам. Эта трансформация охватывает три уровня политической организации современного мира: Вестфальскую систему, систему международных (межгосударственных) отношений и политические системы отдельных государств. Три уровня политической организации мира, меняясь сегодня одновременно, усиливают друг друга и порождают эффект синергии. С такой масштабной трансформацией, когда «подвижными» оказываются все три уровня, мир сталкивается впервые, хотя изменения второго и особенно третьего уровней были и ранее. Поскольку в настоящее время система политической организации мира подвергается серьезным изменениям, то в кризисе оказываются и теории, которые так или иначе пытаются ее осмыслить и которые также появились на Западе. Обращение исследователей к незападным, преимущественно азиатским ТМО для поиска ответов обусловлено следующими причинами: 1) бурным экономическим ростом региона; 2) развитием научных исследований в Азии; 3) кризисом именно западной модели политической организации мира, что побуждает искать решения в иных цивилизационных структурах. В статье обосновывается необходимость и возможность «проектной» деятельности по реформированию современной политической организации мира и включению в нее практик, которые имеются в различных регионах мира. Отмечается, что для реализации такой деятельности необходима работа специалистов в области международных отношений, а также в области других социальных дисциплин из разных стран, подобно тому, как реализуются крупные проекты в технических и естественнонаучных областях.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>international relations theory</kwd><kwd>the political organization of the world</kwd><kwd>the Westphalian system of the world</kwd><kwd>the system of international (interstate) relations</kwd><kwd>national school in IR studies</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>теории международных отношений</kwd><kwd>политическая организация мира</kwd><kwd>Вестфальская система мира</kwd><kwd>система международных (межгосударственных) отношений</kwd><kwd>национальные школы ТМО</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Acharya, A.
