Global Studies Encyclopedia is a groundbreaking project,
unique in many ways. Actualizing the ancient notion of paideia, this
is the first interdisciplinary encyclopedia accumulating the contemporary
achievements in the field of global studies. It has been prepared by 450
scholars from 28 countries, who wrote all the entries especially for these
volumes. The success of this global scale international venture was
determined by establishing a broad network of scholars, politicians and other
practitioners; their ideas and approaches related to global challenges on the
base of new communication technologies. Among the authors are respected
political, business, and public leaders. The project participants
represent various academic fields from philosophy, economics, and political
sciences to engineering, management and computing. They work in the most well
know research centers and universities of Russia, the USA, Germany, China,
India, Great Britain, Canada, Japan, Israel, Greece, Turkey, Mexico, Ireland,
Switzerland, Iran, Australia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, the Czech Republic,
Finland, Poland, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and
Azerbaijan. The Encyclopedia was formed by
the Russian Philosophical Society, the Russian Ecological Academy, the
Paideia Project at Boston University, and the International organization
“Concerned Philosophers for Peace”. The Encyclopedia will be presented at the
21st World Philosophy Congress in Istanbul (August 2003, 10-17)
dedicated to “Philosophy Facing World Problems”. The articles reflect all
aspects of global studies, including, but not limited to: global threats,
international terrorism, ecology and biosphere, climate, space, demography,
health, technology, history, culture, education, society, religion,
international organizations and social movements, international law, world
politics, human rights, globalization, sustainable development, and
philosophy. This fundamental resource is useful for libraries, teachers,
businessmen, students, and those seeking knowledge of modern humanity. These volumes will be published
by the leading Russian house “Raduga” in Russian and English in spring 2003. The Encyclopedia will be
available at the Web site: www.globalistika.ru All questions concerning the
