This book presents a completely new look at the fundamentals of global geopolitical architecture and the sources of international conflicts. This research extends the scope of geopolitical analysis to encompass the entire globe through a comparative historical analysis of major religious, cultural, and civilizational aspects of development of different regions of the world, which are responsible for development of a system of political legacies peculiar to each of them. The book attempts to find the deep-rooted sources of the long-lasting international conflicts, where each of them has the potential to grow into full-fledged global war. In addition, it proposes a multipolar structure of the new global geopolitical order, which is more coherent with the true nature of different and very versatile societies of the world.
