A Unified Developmental Strategy for the Global World: A Necessity and Opportunity

Abstract

In the present article we reveal opportunities for the advancement in the solution of the task of obtaining theoretical foundations for working out a unified developmental strategy for the global world. The new paradigm is based on four approaches: defining a single objectively set developmental goal; considering all development processes using the principles of complexity, consistency, and integrity; measuring all development processes through a single indicatortime; and usage of a single criterion for the effectiveness of the development. The suggested paradigm shows the urgent necessity to develop a unified strategy for the development of the global world and also the opportunity and mechanism of its practical implementation. It also gives a new understanding of globalization, which must inevitably replace the existing model.

Social Macroevolution and Changes in the Human Value Systems. How has Modernization Affected Human Values?

“…• ultimately, modernization requires very significant politicallegal and political-social changes (i.e., political modernization, which is primarily a transition from developed to mature statehood) (see Grinin, Korotayev 2012: 184-185; see also Rostow 1960;Apter 1965;Bellah 1965;Lerner 1965;Eisenstadt 1966;Levy 1966;Black 1975;Bondarenko 2011;Poberezhnikov 2014;Grinin, Korotayev 2015;Korotayev, Goldstone et al 2015;Rozov et al 2019;Grinin 2022).…”

Glocalization: Lessons Learned from Globalization

“…The necessity to come up with a new system that addresses and considers the failures of globalism is becoming increasingly important. Valentina Bondarenko (2021) presents opportunities for the advancement in the solution of the task of obtaining theoretical foundations for working out a unified developmental strategy for the global world. Her suggested paradigm shows the urgent necessity to develop a unified strategy for the development of the global world and also the opportunity and mechanism of its practical implementation and provides a new understanding of globalization, which must inevitably replace the existing model (Bondarenko 2021).…”
