Аннотация

This paper explores the prospects for the development of Asian civilization in the context of the rapidly changing geopolitical landscape of the 21st century. Special attention is given to the cognitive processes that shape Asia’s perception of its own future, including issues of identity, cultural distinctiveness, and spiritual orientations. Existential aspects are examined through the lens of changes in the socio-economic structure, traditional life models, and social relations. In the context of contemporary geopolitical realities, where Asia is poised to play a key role on the global stage, the processes of internal adaptation and overcoming contradictions between tradition and modernization are analyzed. The paper emphasizes the importance of integrating cognitive and existential factors in the context of sustainable and harmonious regional development, as well as the significance of combining traditional values with modern governance models for the sustainable development of the Asian space. The author investigates key challenges facing the region, including political instability, environmental threats, and demographic changes, and suggests possible scenarios for Asia's future development, concluding that the region’s growing civilizational influence on global processes is inevitable.
