Russian term

мировое обустройство

Russian to English Other Government / Politics
Неудача мирового обустройства после "холодной войны" привела к возрождению ядерной темы - сначала как средства сдерживания экспансионистских амбиций.

Easier to understand the term than find a direct equivalent. "World order-building"?

post-cold war order

I think you should be looking at мирового обустройства после "холодной войны'' rather than just мировое обустройство
For instance:
The failure of the post-cold war order has resulted in..
Or (if you want to retain the verbal element in обустройство):
The failure to /maintain /create a unipolar world order/ the post-cold war order has resulted in..

I guess, you could stick "world'' in there, if you absolutely had to. Although personally, I think 'world' is redundant. PS Don't be jealous ;-)

global formation

I would translate it like this. It's not really clear from this one sentence but sounds like the text is talking about the changes happening all over the world after the Cold War was over... and now it's back.

@Clive Wilshin: attempts at building a new (global) world order

contains the construction element as well as "world order." Global may seem reduntant, but it does point to the world order that applies globally.

Answer to the comment:
@Clive Wilshin: One can "erect or set up a new world order," which gives the sense of doing something from the ground up. One can "nurture or grow a new world order," which gives the idea of bringing something along from infancy to, hopefully, adulthood by successive stages.
Longer answer:
set up the structural/institutional framework for/of the new world order
Note from asker:
I think this ignores the verbal element in обустройство. "The world order" is simply мировой порядок. International rules-based order = международный правовой порядок, etc. The Russian surely means something like"efforts to build a (new) world order." Обустройство is a darned difficult verb to translate in many contexts!
The idea of 'furnishing' seems always present in the verb (with a building or a home, it means "to supply with all necessary amenities"); not just to build a new world order, but to develop it, to provide it with the necessary institutional infrastructure. There is no English one-word equivalent! I've been discussing this verb with colleagues for 30 years, with no firm conclusions!

I think the author wants to express a measured amount of skepticism about the "globalist agenda" but this skepticism is intentionally very muted, which is why he chooses to carefully avoid the loaded term "мировой порядок" ("world order"). "Обустройство" is quite vague and open to interpretation, "system" is similarly vague and carries the same connotation of creating some semblance of order and propriety out of a rough, disheveled state.
