The article discusses ways to resolve the contradiction between globalization and national sovereignty in the context of the transition to a multipolar world order. The main features of the emerging multipolar model of globalization are shown. Through the prism of Eurasian integration, the differences between Russia’s partnership with the countries of the West and its partnership with the countries of the Global East and the Global South are analyzed. The special role of the Eurasian Economic Union and Russia in the formation of a just multipolar world is revealed.
