Globalistics: An Introduction
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The article discusses some new directions of development of global studies stimulated by implementation of an evolutionary approach in global studies. According to the authors, in a broad sense global studies examine global processes and systems, identifying patterns and trends of their existence and development. Moreover, the evolutionary globalistics is considered as a study of evolution and co-evolution of global processes and their system-synergistic phenomenon that is of a global development. Particular attention is paid to the problem of method and approach in global studies, as well as to the spatio-temporal expansion of global research. The following temporal divi-sions are identified: paleoglobalistics, neoglobalistics, and futuregloba-listics, as well as a spatial perspective – cosmoglobalistics.
