and other prominent researchers and academics from around the world.

The Congress is a platform for exchange of opinions about vital issues and challenges facing the humanity, and helps create an international expert network to facilitate study of global socio-natural concepts. The aims of the Congress include analysis, generalisation, and comparative assessment of global processes on the basis of views expressed by leading academic researchers in the field.

Both organisers and participants of the Congress are aware of the importance of finding answers to the current global challenges and solutions to multiple global problems for the sake of peace and sustainable development.

The cross-disciplinary nature of globalistics has defined the scale and structure of the Congress, which will help the participants to focus on the latest highlights of academic research into globalisation challenges and global processes.

Impressive achievements in economic integration, the emergence of the global transport network and the growth of international commerce, as well as steady advances in information and communication technologies have brought about the global interconnectedness and dependencies on the level yet unseen. New global tendencies emerge, which reflect far-reachingphenomena and unexplored processes. It because of this that we invite researchersof different levels and academic distinction, from students who find global studies interesting to internationally renowned scholars, who network easily and who have no difficulty exchanging useful information thanks to the variety of technologies available today.

The first International Academic Congress “Globalistics 2009: Ways to exit a global crisis and models of world order” took place right in the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis 2007-2009, when the world plunged into recession and its many dependencies were moved into the limelight. The Congress welcomed over 500 researchers and academics, as well as experts from largest international centres of education, public and commercial organisations. Leading Russian politicians, academics and explorers were joined by President of the Foundation for a Culture of Peace Federico Mayor Zaragoza in their greetings to participants of the Congress.

 The discussions and resolutions of the first Congress inspired a series of studies and monographs, includingModelling of Non-Linear Dynamics of Global Processes (Global Studies Faculty, MGU & Faculty for Non-Linear Processes, Saratov State University), Evolutionary Globalistics (I.V.Ilyin, A.D.Ursul), Theoretic and Methodological Bases of Globalistics (I.V.Ilyin). Also, the Congress paved the way for the International Global Research Association and the Moscow Club academics and consultants’ society.

The Congress is becoming a traditional event at MGU’s Global Studies Faculty, founded on application from University’s Rector in 2005. The Faculty’s academic focus is on study of key processes in the area of politics, economics, philosophy, sociology, business, geography, ecology etc., which affect the global dynamics.

The Faculty prides itself on being the country’s leading research and competence centre in globalistics,and a precursor to the global studies department in the Russian Academy ofScience. It sponsors the biannual Vek Globalizatsii magazine and The Journal of Globalization Studies in English.

Supporting international academic collaboration in research of global processes, MGU’s Global Studies Faculty is an enthusiastic  promoter and participant of international projects like the International Encyclopaedia of Globalistics (Moscow, 2003 and Moscow, Saint-Petersburg & New York, 2006), WHO IS WHO & WHAT IS WHAT IN GLOBALISTICS, which are designed to provide accurate, exhaustive and up-to-date information including schedules of relevant events devoted to global studies (http://globalistics.org).

We are happy to acknowledge the contribution of Global Studies Faculty’s UNESCO Department for Global Social and Ethnic Challenges to organisation of the 2011 Congress. The department was established in 2010, a result of MGU’s joining UNITWIN. There are over 700 UNESCO departments in more than 120 countries across the word, and this unique project in MGU is supported by the City of Moscow Government. UNESCO was among the first organisations acknowledging and researching into the growing challenges facing urban population. The document establishing the new department was signed 28 September, 2010 by the head of the UN culture agency Irina Bokova on her first visit toMoscow in her official capacity, and by the Rector of Lomonosov Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy. We also enjoy good support and cooperation from GUNI (Global University Network for Innovation) and the Global Studies Consortium.

Global processes have long become a part of our life, and the challenge for today’s academics is to come up with as accurate an evaluation of these as possible. We hope that the Congress will become a good tradition at the Global Studies Faculty and in MGU, and that it will provide an efficient up-to-date platf­­­orm for discussions of global issues. We wish all participants of the Congress to have fruitful panel- and round-table discussions.
