This agenda, when applied to Europe and North America, the two macro-regions of the West, makes up the core of the unified complex of research and learning disciplines known as European Studies and American Studies.
Unified by the macro-regional cross-Atlantic history based on common values and world perception, the agenda of these two macro-regions reflects: (a) the nature of macro-regional processes that came to the fore at a certain historical stage of global development, and hence, (b) the view of the world from the macro-region of the future Euro-Atlantic community.
At the same time, such posing of the problem did not cancel the need to analyze the dichotomy of global macro-regions (in particular, the problems of the East/ West dichotomy (Curtin 2000; Dagorn and Gabriel-Oyhamburu 2008) in their differences of economic, political and social structures) in view of understanding the specifics marking the course of sociopolitical processes and construction of the social order at particular historical stages of human development in regional segments of the world-despite understanding of the fact that dichotomous constructions a priori suggest a methodological reduction.
Gradually, it became clear for at least some of the most advanced and not paradigm-blinded researchers that the growth of interstate interaction at the regional and macro-regional levels as a significant trend of global development, plus economic and political modernization, open regionalism, regionalization and the appearance of such a phenomenon as macro-regional and cross-regional cooperation (cross-regionalism), determine not only economic but also political, socio-cultural and civilizational factors, as each regional segment hosts its own unique composition of nation-states with a different combination of different types of social order (social and political access system).
While the aforementioned studies certainly do not encompass the whole variety of works that analyze the changing role and position of the East and the West as world macro-regions in contemporary international political and socio-economic relations, they do, however, serve as sufficient ground for an unambiguous conclusion: eventually, the positions of those who insisted on including the non-Western agenda into the political and political-economic analysis of international relations gained credence.
