Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the text is to check whether the New Silk Road idea is a symptom or the result of the globalization crisis. The New Silk Road is a new international initiative designed and implemented in various parts of the world. I point to the main ideas and values accompanying these initiatives. I also compare them with the ideas and values of current globalization. I come to the conclusion that the Idea of the New Silk Road is a symptom and the effect of the globalization crisis in its present shape, in which the USA plays a central role. It does not indicate the crisis of the value of the idea of globality. It is a manifestation of her different understanding. It is an affirmation of such values and postulates as diversity, contact with alterity, peaceful coexistence and even action for the mutual benefit of people of different cultures, countries, sides of the world, even those far away from each other.
