Abstract: The study is devoted to the search of theoretical regularities in the life activity of the universal states. The study notes that universal states were created by conquest. However, their main purpose was to stop the war and to start the cooperation among peoples and different regions. This is the highest type of political genesis for that time. According to the example of historical destinies of various empires, the reasons of ideological paradigm inevitable change are disclosed, leading eventually to the death of universal states. One of the main causes of universal state decay was a religious factor. In the study, this fact may be traced shortly according to the example of the Roman Empire death. The study shows that these laws are fully traceable according to the example of contemporary ethnic, national and global processes. Within the global aspect the ideology of consumer society is criticized-consumerism which has a decelerated impact on the development of “high culture”. The strongest factors of the universal state transformation will be glocalization processes. The growth of ethnic identity is closely related to the psycho-mental aspect of modern people socialization. This factor may be the underlying cause of future transformations.
