The advantage of a Marxist approach is that it goes beyond merely descriptive analysis and can suggest and achieve long-term, effective solutions to the problems considered. I start by highlighting the adequacy of the Marxist paradigm for addressing the challenges of geopolitics and International Relations (IR), and I critically discuss two misinterpretations of Marxist theory: the claim that it neglects either the national or the international level. Then, I proceed to introduce the conception of Globalized Class Struggles (GCS). Against the view that takes class struggle (in singular) to refer only to the struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, I maintain that class struggles (in plural) are not reducible to that essential form, and that they include a wide range of further multisided confrontations between various antagonist actors. After pointing out what can be considered as the economic foundation of (GCS), I identify the main involved classes on the basis of the centre / periphery dichotomy, and I briefly illustrate the usefulness of (GCS) through selected examples. Further, I examine the Marxist principle of Proletarian Internationalism (PI) by developing an interpretation of it as grounded in the dialectic between the local and the global levels. Indeed, I claim that such an understanding of (PI) can appropriately address both intrastate and interstate geopolitical challenges. The analysis finally focuses on the normative potential of Marxism in general and (PI) in particular. The suggested Marxist approach to contemporary geopolitics is, admittedly, on the side of the working classes worldwide, especially in the peripheries, where they are engaged in fierce anti-imperialist struggles.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Утверждается, что марксизм предлагает наиболее подходящую парадигму для анализа и формирования современной геополитики. Преимущество марксистского подхода заключается в том, что он выходит за рамки простого описательного анализа и может предлагать и достигать долгосрочные, эффективные решения рассматриваемых проблем. Подчеркнута адекватность марксистской парадигмы для решения проблем геополитики и международных отношений и критически рассматриваются два неверных толкования марксистской теории: утверждение о том, что она игнорирует либо национальный, либо международный уровень. Изложены концепции глобальной классовой борьбы. Вопреки мнению, согласно которому классовая борьба (в единственном числе) относится только к борьбе между буржуазией и пролетариатом, утверждается, что классовая борьба (во множественном числе) не сводится к этой существенной форме и что она включает в себя широкий спектр дальнейших многосторонних столкновений между различными противоборствующими субъектами. После указания на то, что можно рассматривать как экономическую основу, определены основные задействованные классы на основе дихотомии центр / периферия и кратко проиллюстрированы полезность глобальной классовой борьбы выбранными примерами. Далее исследуется марксистский принцип пролетарского интернационализма с развитием его интерпретации, основанной на диалектике между локальным и глобальным уровнями. Утверждается, что такое понимание пролетарского интернационализма может адекватно решать как внутригосударственные, так и межгосударственные геополитические задачи. Наконец, анализ фокусируется на нормативном потенциале марксизма в целом и пролетарского интернационализма в частности. Предлагаемый марксистский подход к современной геополитике, по общему признанию, - на стороне рабочего класса во всем мире, особенно на периферии, где он ведет ожесточенную антиимпериалистическую борьбу.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Marxism</kwd><kwd>internationalism</kwd><kwd>bourgeoisie</kwd><kwd>proletariat</kwd><kwd>centre</kwd><kwd>periphery</kwd><kwd>dialectic</kwd><kwd>anti-imperialism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>марксизм</kwd><kwd>интернационализм</kwd><kwd>буржуазия</kwd><kwd>пролетариат</kwd><kwd>центр</kwd><kwd>периферия</kwd><kwd>диалектика</kwd><kwd>антиимпериализм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Rustad SA.
