Informatics and the Development of Global Studies

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.
