Forward-looking qualities of Global Studies

Annotation

This ebook discusses globalisation, global education, its quality assessment and forward looking activities as an emerging discipline, and suggests possible roles of information systems in these long-term processes, all in the context of Global Studies. Articles provide decisive world-wide quality: during the June 2013 conference of the California-based "Global Studies Consortium" (GSC) at Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty for Global Studies, the GS community was enriched by perspectives from Russian colleagues that provided deeply humanitarian approaches supported by ethical qualities, characteristic qualitative approaches to integrative global history, and resulting outlooks into a global future.
