Informatics and the Development of Global Studies

Abstract

Globalization has become one of the characteristic features of our epoch. Different kinds of global problems are constantly discussed by the world community; global research in modern science is expanding uninterruptedly. Thus, global studies have gradually formed as a direction in scientific thought. They organically combine the features of differentiation and integration of scientific cognition. One possible perspective of subsequent development of global studies is their transformation in a particular sphere of knowledge. The information aspects of the global analysis of reality are bound with the progress of informatics; the present-day pandemic confirms this fact once more.
