The coming off the press of
a fundemental opus of Global Studies Encyclopedia in the Russian and English
languages is an
Event of Planetary Importance. Global
Studies Encyclopedia is an unprecedented publication dedicated to the issue
of globalization and to the most acute problems of the contemporary world. The volume appeared during the period of worldwide
attention to the process of globalization. Scholarly
literature on this topic is quite vast; heated discussions headlined in
scientific periodicals and mass media are
being held. At the same time, neither in Russia nor abroad one can find encyclopedic and analytical works covering the basic theories,
concepts, and trends in global
studies containing the latest
facts regarding the current changes, the organizations and persons involved, etc. This
publication is called to bridge
this gap. |
This work has been prepared by a large international group of
authors (445 people); it contains about 500 articles ( more then
1300 articles in the Russian version) reflecting the most significant achievements in the
field of global studies accumulated within the last 30 years in Russia and abroad.
The articles for this Encyclopedia have been contributed by prominent scientists,
politicians, and public figures from 28
countries. All articles are signed
and selected on the basis of competition
specially for this publication.
The Encyclopedia has been composed and published by TsNPP
«Dialog» with the participation of the Russian Philosophical society, the Russian Ecological
Academy, an international non-governmental organization «Concerned Philosophers for
Peace» and the Paideia Project of the Boston University (USA).
The Encyclopedia is intended for a wide circle of readers of various
ages and occupations. Its dissemination in many countries of the
world will contribute to promoting cooperation, dialogue and mutual understanding among
nations.
