This article aims to analyze the global trends in political development and the state's position in the international relations matrix, with a special focus on the importance of choosing a development model for the state, particularly in terms of European and Euro-Atlantic foreign policy vectors. This study employs a descriptive analytical research design. The data were gathered from a comprehensive review of relevant literature on globalization, deglobalization, European integration, and Euro-Atlantic development. The research finds that globalization is a megatrend that has significant implications for the present world order. The increasing influence of post-modern structures, such as transnational corporations, and the global digitalization in all spheres of life of society, especially during pandemics, have accelerated global processes and are viewed as tools for sustainable development. Deglobalization, manifested in regionalization and glocalization, is considered a countertrend for globalization. The article also emphasizes the crucial role of European and Euro-Atlantic integration in the state's participation in globalization processes. The analysis presented in this article has several practical implications. It suggests that the state's foreign policy must be aligned with globalization trends and the deglobalization of the global universe's influence, establishing new centers of the world order and new regional powers. It also highlights the importance of European integration and the Euro-Atlantic vector of development in the state's globalization strategy.
