The article is devoted to the modern interpretation of the methodology of theoretical simulation of international relations – the system of the methodological principles. This study covers the principles of empirical approach, value approach, management approach, abstraction, necessary idealization, tolerance, creativity, historical and predictive approach and reasonable actualization. Each of the proposed principles focuses on individual, but synergistically linked and relevant to the researcher notional subject– the being of international relations.In addition, analysis of international relations is impossible without an application of the principles of materialism, synarchism, system-defined approach, coherence and emergence. Thus, the need to apply the specialized principle of emergence, derived from the principle of synarchism, is caused by the fact that the system of international relations is constantly evolving followed by the new formats of interaction between actors as well as the appearance of new functionally organized structures represented by, for example, new international organizations that emerged in the era of globalization.
