Grinin Leonid E. Globalistics and Globalization Studies. Global Transformations and Global Future. Yearbook
The present volume is the fifth in the series of yearbooks with the title Globalistics and Globalization Studies. The subtitle of the present volume is Global Transformations and Global Future. We become more and more accustomed to think globally and to see global processes. And our future can all means be global. However, is this statement justified? Indeed, in recent years, many have begun to claim that globalization has stalled, that we are rather dealing with the process of anti-globalization. Will not we find ourselves at some point again in an edifice spanning across the globe, but divided into national apartments, separated by walls of high tariffs and mutual suspicion? Of course, some setbacks are always possible, because the process of globalization cannot develop smoothly. It is a process which is itself emerging from contradictions and is shaped by a new contradiction. They often go much further than underlying systemic changes allow. They break forward, as the vanguard of a victorious army, and then often meet resistance of various social and political forces and may suddenly start to roll back just at the moment when everyone expects their further offensive. We believe that this is what is happening with globalization at present. The yearbook will be interesting to a wide range of researchers, teachers, students and all those who are concerned about global issues.

Globalistics and Globalization Studies: Big History & Global History
This yearbook is the fourth in the series with the title Globalistics and Globalization Studies. The subtitle of the present volume is Global History & Big History. The point is that today our global world really demands global knowledge. Thus, there are a few actively developing multidisciplinary approaches and integral disciplines among which one can name Global Studies, Global History and Big History. They all provide a connection between the past, present, and future. Big History with its vast and extremely heterogeneous field of research encompasses all the forms of existence and all timescales and brings together constantly updated information from the scientific disciplines and the humanities. Global History is transnational or world history which examines history from a global perspective, making a wide use of comparative history and of the history of multiple cultures and nations. Global Studies express the view of systemic and epistemological unity of global processes. Thus, one may argue that Global Studies and Globalistics can well be combined with Global History and Big History and such a multi-disciplinary approach can open wide horizons for the modern university education as it helps to form a global view of various processes.

Гринин Леонид Ефимович, Коротаев Андрей Витальевич, Ильин Илья Вячеславович Globalistics and globalization studies. Current and Future Trends in the Big History Perspective
Over the last few years, particularly in the last couple of years, the situation in the world has been rapidly changing. In fact, there is a strong impression that its development goes with more and more increased speed. The World System experiences really dramatic transformations which exacerbate conflicts and tension, disasters and scares as well as turbulence and backslides in the society. We suppose that a new tide of globalization will result from the started formation of the new world order which in many respects will be associated with regulation of global agreements and mechanisms connected with activities on climate change and ecology. This volume presents views on globalization and global issues from different angles. We investigate current processes both in more depth and from the Big History perspective. The present volume is already the eighth volume in the series 'Globalistics and Globalization Studies' touching a broad range of subjects within Global Studies. The volume has a subtitle - 'Current and Future Trends in the Big History Perspective'. The volume has a traditional structure and consists of three parts. Part 1 is entitled 'The Present and Future of the Global World' and comprises eight contributions considering different phenomena currently observed in the globalized world and giving an insight into the future. The second Part is entitled 'Political and Cultural Global Trends' and consists of ten contributions covering different social and political aspects of current globalization. Finally, seven contributions of 'Part III. Big History Studies' consider various issues associated with Big History.

Globalistics and Globalization Studies: Aspects & Dimensions of Global Views
На сегодняшний день процессы глобализации приобрели всеобъемлющий характер. В то же время, несмотря на рост числа публикаций на тему глобализации, ее понимание и наши знания о ней все еще оставляют желать лучшего. Особенно это касается глобальных процессов в целом, частью которых является глобализация. Нам необходимо систематизировать наши представления о глобализации и глобальных исследованиях, с тем чтобы они отвечали реалиям. В частности, это касается образовательного процесса, так как от состояния современного образования зависит, как люди будут воспринимать реальность в будущем. Настоящий ежегодник направлен на решение этих важных задач. В этом году третий выпуск в серии ежегодников Глобалистика и глобальные исследования (Globalistics and Globalization Studies) выходит подаголовоком Аспекты и грани представлений о глобальных процессах (Aspects & Dimensions of Global Views). Его авторы рассматривают глобализацию и глобальные исследования с разных точек зрения: философской, методологической, педагогической, в рамках разных процессов, проблем и перспектив. Естественно, это определяет разнообразие представленных в ежегоднике материалов. Но глобализация и сама по себе очень многообразна, ее осмысление может проходить в рамках различных теоретических подходов. В настоящем ежегоднике представлены точки зрения на глобализацию и глобальные процессы ученых из разных стран, в том числе особые взгляды на эту проблему российских ученых и преподавателей. Ежегодник будет интересен широкому кругу исследователей, преподавателей и всем, кто интересуется глобальными проблемами.

History & Mathematics: Political Demography & Global Ageing. Yearbook
Among different important issues, which are discussed in Political Demography the issue of global ageing becomes more and more pressing every year. It is sufficient to take into account the point that within two forthcoming decades a rapid global increase in the number of retirement-age persons will lead to its doubling within this fairly small historical period. The concerns about population ageing apply to both developed and many developing countries and it has turned into a global issue. In forthcoming decades the population ageing is likely to become one of the most important processes determining the future society characteristics and the direction of technological development. The present volume of the Yearbook (which is the fifth in the series) is subtitled 'Political Demography & Global Ageing'. It brings together a number of interesting articles by scholars from Europe, Asia, and America. They examine global ageing from a variety of perspectives. This issue of the Yearbook consists of two main sections: (I) Aspects of Political Demography; (II) Facing Population Ageing. We hope that this issue will be interesting and useful both for historians and mathematicians, as well as for all those dealing with various social and natural sciences.

Grinin Leonid E., Korotayev Andrey V. Evolution: Evolutionary trends, aspects, and patterns
The present volume is the sixth issue of the 'Evolution' Yearbook series. Our Yearbooks are designed to present to its readers the widest possible spectrum of subjects and issues: from universal evolutionism to the analysis of particular evolutionary regularities in the development of biological, abiotic, and social systems, culture, cognition, language, etc. The main objective of our Yearbook is the creation of a unified interdisciplinary field of research, within which scientists specializing in different disciplines could work within the framework of unified or similar paradigms, using common terminology and searching for common rules, tendencies and regularities. Global evolution (in connection with the Big History) becomes the main subject of our Yearbook. We strive to arrange each issue in such a way that the line from cosmic evolution to the human future is evident. Similar to the previous issues, this Yearbook shows some aspects of the evolutionary advance from the earlier phases to the anticipated future of human society. But on the whole, this volume is devoted to different aspects and facts of megaevolution and some universal theories in an attempt to find common ground in the diversity of manifestation of evolution and its forms at different stages of development. The title of this issue 'Evolutionary Trends, Aspects, and Patterns' is fully justified. The volume consists of four sections: Big History's Phases and Long-Term Trends; Cosmic Evolution; The Aspects of Socio-Cultural and Political Evolution; and Looking from the Past into the Future. As before, we strive to arrange every issue in such a way that the line from cosmic evolution to the human future is evident. Megahistory and global evolution still are the main subjects of our Yearbook. This Yearbook will be useful both for those who study interdisciplinary macroproblems and for specialists working in focused directions, as well as for those who are interested in evolutionary issues of Cosmology, Biology, History, Anthropology, Economics and other areas of study. More than that, this edition will challenge and excite your vision of your own life and the new discoveries going on around us.
