The object of consideration in the article is the sources of global turbulence and the understanding of this topic within the framework of modern political science. Among the sources of turbulence are the natural environment and its pulsations, which can destabilize social systems; anthropogenic impact on nature, climate and large ecosystems; unstable demography and powerful migration flows; technological revolution, radically consolidating communication and information space.; the gigantic expansion of the possibilities of individuals to influence society, which increases the growth of the chaoticization of social space. The sources of turbulence should also include sources that are inherently political in nature and genesis – contradictions and conflicts within the global political system, including the struggle of the United States to preserve its global hegemony; the conditional “revisionism” of those who feel violated within the existing system (China); attempts to restore the former imperial greatness of the Ottoman Porte, the British the Empire, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, etc.

The peculiarity of the current situation is that many of the sources mentioned have resonated, creating a situation of “perfect storm”, fraught with political and even physical resolution of the existing system. The understanding of this situation has become the subject of the authors' consideration.
