2013.06.24 Encyclopedia “Global Studies: personalities, organizations, publications”: Invitation for cooperation
The Faculty of Global Studies proposes a number of international collaborative projects in the field of publishing. Among them it is necessary to mention the Encyclopedia “Global Studies: personalities, organizations, publications”.
It has been already published in Russian, and we suggest to publish an enlarged version of this encyclopedia in English.
We propose to all the members of the Consortium to take part in the preparation of this encyclopedia.
First of all, we invite all those who specialize in Global Studies to send the information about themselves, their colleagues, their departments, associations, periodicals &c so that it could be included in this encyclopedia. The proposed deadline is the 15th of October, 2013. Sample entries can be found both below and at the site of the Faculty of Global Studies
( www.fgp.msu.ru; www.sociostudies.org ).
We would ask you to send us entries for the encyclopedia to the following addresses:
leonid.grinin@gmail.com (Prof. Leonid Grinin)
akorotayev@gmail.com (Prof. Andrey Korotayev)
rozanov@fgp.msu.ru (Dr Alexander Rozanov)
Sample entries:

He has authored and co-authored more than 200 scholarly publications (including 10 monographs and 5 textbooks). His main academic interests are theoretical and methodological foundations of Global Studies, theory of global evolutionism, model of globalization through sustainable development (neoglobalism). He has made important contributions to the study of regularities of global processes in the framework of the theory of coevolution of geospheres, as well as to development of such new directions of Global Studies as Evolutionary Globalistics, Futuroglobalistics, and Cosmoglobalistics. Ilyin pays much attention to the development of Global Studies in Russia, to their popularization, organization of international conferences and projects in the field of Global Studies.

Leonid GRININ, (born December 16, 1958), Russian philosopher and theorist of globalization. Currently Senior Research Professor at the Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences. Editor of the Journal of Globalization Studies, as well as Age of Globalization, and the yearbook Globalistics and Globalization Studies. He has authored more than 120 scholarly publications on the issues related to Global Studies. His main academic interests are the theory of historical process, origins and evolution of statehood, modern globalization processes, world-system approach to the understanding of global history. He has made important contributions to the analysis of the modern problems of globalization, forecasting of global political and socioeconomic development, as well as to the study of the current global crisis, global economic cycles, history of globalization, periodization of global processes, analysis of global trends, and comparison of global social and natural processes. In cooperation with Andrey Korotayev he has demonstrated that the formation of the World System started much earlier than it was suggested by Andre Gunder Frank – in the 9th millennium BCE and developed a model of interaction between Kondtratieff waves and Juglar cycles at the global level.

Andrey KOROTAYEV, (born February 17, 1961), Russian sociologist and analyst of global processes. Currently Professor of the Faculty of Global Studies of the Moscow State University. Senior Research Professor at the Institute of Oriental Studies and Institute for African Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences. Head of the Department of Asian and African Studies of the Russian State University for the Humanities. Head of the Laboratory of Monitoring of the Risks of Sociopolitical Destabilization of the National Research University Higher School of Economics. Editor of the Journal of Globalization Studies and the yearbook Globalistics and Globalization Studies. He has authored more than 150 scholarly publications on the issues related to Global Studies. Korotayev has made important contributions to the development of the mathematical models of global processes, the study of historical roots of globalization, the development of the world-system approach, global history, and Big History. He has offered a novel explanation of the hyperbolic growth of the global population observed till the early 1970s. In cooperation with Leonid Grinin and Sergey Tsirel he has detected with spectral analysis the presence of Kondratieff waves (as well as Juglar cycles) in the global GDP dynamics at an acceptable level of statistical significance. Mathematical analysis of global dynamics allowed Korotayev (with Askar Akaev and Viktor Sadovnichy) to forecast in December 2010 the start of the second wave of the global crisis in August 2011.
