Глобальные проблемы: ретроспективный анализ и современное состояние

Abstract

The article reviews the developments in the global issues of the mankind. The author addresses the history of the emergence of this notion and analyzes the reasons, typology and influence of a number of the most significant global issues (non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, expansion of drug trafficking, the growth of the gap between the most developed and the poorest countries, the ecological crisis etc.) and their direct and indirect influence on the global community in the 20th and 21st centuries. The article also reflects possible ways of the solution of these problems in the sphere of security at all levels (global, regional and national) and some scenarios of future events in case the global issues are not solved.
