This book provides brief expositions of the central concepts in the
field of Global Studies. Former President of the Soviet Union
Mikhail Gorbachev says, "The book is intelligent, rich in content
and, I believe, necessary in our complex, turbulent, and fragile
world." 300 authors from 50 countries contributed 450 entries. The
contributors include scholars, researchers, and professionals in
social, natural, and technological sciences. They cover
globalization problems within ecology, business, economics,
politics, culture, and law. This interdisciplinary collection
provides a basis for understanding the concepts and methods within
global studies and for accessing lengthier and more technical
research in the field. The articles treat such important topics as
the biosphere, ozone depletion, land resources and pollution, world
health challenges, education, global modeling, sustainable
development, war, weapons of mass destruction, and terrorism. The
book also promotes academic cooperation, political dialogue, and
mutual understanding across diverse traditions and national
identities that are needed to engage successfully the many daunting
challenges of globalization.
