Abstract

The article deals with the problems of analyzing civilizational processes in the space of Central Eurasia highlighted in the course of the author's research.  The key attention is paid to the operationalization of the most important terms used in the methodology of civilizational political science, namely the terms “civilization”, “state-civilization”, “Central Eurasia”, etc. The specifics of the theo-retical and methodological apparatus of civilizational political science as a multi-paradigm scientific direction are also revealed. In particular, it should be noted that civilizational political science considers the world order simultaneously in two planes: in the paradigm of the civilizational world order and in the paradigm of dividing the world into separate states, their alliances, alliances and blocs. Sci-entifically correct polyparadigmatic consideration of the object — the world order as such — gives a “stereoscopic” picture. It is in this picture that Russia and Mon-golia appear as the state-civilizations. And in turn, the processes of development and interaction between Russian and Mongolian civilizations become the center of the studied issues. The article presents the history of a kind of “civilizational” dialogue — the development of joint research by Russian and Mongolian sci-entists on these scientific issues. The political and political-legal manifestation of civilizational specificity in the normative legal acts of Russia and Mongolia, the peculiarities of consolidating the status of the state-civilizations of the two countries, the historical role played by the Russian and Mongolian civilizations in the designated space of Central Eurasia, the peculiarities of the geographical environment and the regional subsystem of international relations are analyzed.  Also, the factors of the triangle “Russia — Mongolia — China” and Mongolia's “Third Neighbor”, represented in the form of the United States and a number of countries of the West and East, do not remain outside the scope of the study.
