The paper shows that offshoring and financialization that developed during the neoliberal era have reinforced monopolistic dominance by mature imperialist states (namely, the "triad" of USA, EU and Japan), leading to the new division (or recolonization) of the periphery. As a result, the geo-economic space has become rigidly structured in a hierarchy of the groups of nations, with production having become increasingly organized within global production networks controlled by transnational corporations based in the "triad". However, mass transfer of the labor-intensive industries to low-wage countries of the periphery, and to China in particular, has resulted in geopolitical and economic rise of the latter, thus intensifying competition and struggle between national imperialisms. Deglobalization that emerged and evolved during the post-crisis period appears as a manifestation of a new redivision of the world, with unfolding redrawing of the geoeconomic map, creeping degradation of supranational institutions and spike of trade wars between the world's largest economies.

The process of monopolization putting end to planlessness, which Engels noted<br> in the early 1890s, resulted in a global production system organized within global production networks under control of giant transnational corporations. Further development of the stock exchange and fictitious capital noted by Engels more than a hundred years ago led to the dominance of the global finance capital which became the cause of financialization. In the context of the global recession, competition for sources of raw materials and sales markets is intensifying due to the geopolitical and economic rise of China and other large countries of the periphery which claim for redivision of geo-economic and geopolitical map. The unfolding of the late capitalism's contradictions restores the socio-economic ...

Кризис сложившегося после распада мировой социалистической системы неолиберального миропорядка требует адекватного системного теоретического осмысления, в связи с чем представляется актуальным обратиться к отечественным политэкономическим исследованиям мировой системы империализма второй половины XX века. Не ставя перед собой в данном тексте задачи подробного и всеобъемлющего анализа работ советских ученых по политэкономии империализма, мы бы хотели кратко охарактеризовать несколько наиболее значимые аспекты из теоретического наследия отечественной политэкономической школы, которые, на наш взгляд, сохраняют актуальность и сегодня в начале XXI века. Во-первых, сразу отметим, что в рамках советской политэкономической традиции империализм рассматривается как система атрибутивных характеристик, свойственных капиталистической мирохозяйственной системе на определённом этапе ее развития, когда ведущую, а затем и господствующую роль в национальной экономике наиболее развитых капиталистических стран начинает играть крупный монополистический капитал. Теоретическим ядром советской политэкономической школы является теория империализма В.И. Ленина, который в свою очередь интегрировал разработки крупных теоретиков начала XX века (Р. Гильфердинга, Н.И. Бухарина, Р. Люксембург, Дж. Гобсона и других). При этом следует отметить, что В.И. Ленин не только теоретически систематизировал результаты исследований других авторов.
