The study examines the stages in the evolution of global strategy in the global and regional dimension. The thesis on the inadequacy of political and economic activities in today’s international reality is sad but true. The hotspots in world politics are not becoming less numerous, and new ones keep appearing (e.g. the conventional arms race). Given their complexity, the problems that plague the world cannot be solved using the ideas and tools of the past. The cornerstone of global strategy is security. The seemingly remote threat of a world conflict that may be preceded by regional conflicts is a bit more real today. The identification and description of threats will not suffice; specific and effective measures must be taken. This makes the work of analysts of and experts in contemporary strategy approached in a multidimensional manner even more important.
