The article deals with the concepts of the “Great Eastern Idea” (“the idea of the Great East”) and “posteconomism” in the prognostics of A.S. Panarin. The article shows the actualization of these concepts in the modern historical context and the need for their further theoretical development. Some theoretical justifications of these concepts are proposed. The Western project of a “unipolar” world presupposes the inadmissibility of recreating an independent civilizational space of Eurasia, which would somehow stand out from the common swamp of the “third world”. The main problem of global development, according to the author, is whether non-Western civilizations will be able to use their enormous human resources through the mobilization of their cultural traditions.

Abstract:The state of the art is summarized showing many efforts but only few results which can serve as demonstration examples for developing countries. Education in health informatics in developing countries is still mainly dealing with the type of health informatics known from the industrialized world. Educational tools or curricula geared to the matter of development are rarely to be found. Some WHO activities suggest that it is time for a collaboration network to derive tools and curricula within the next decade.

The article discusses the future of mobility in the light of energy resources. Fossil fuel will not be available for a long time - not to mention its growing environmental and political conflicts. In analysing the potential of biofuel it is argued that the high demands of modern mobility can hardly be fulfilled in the future. Furthermore, the change into using biofuel will probably lead to increasing conflicts between the fuel market and the food market, as well as to conflicts with regional agricultural networks in the third world. Petrol imperialism might be replaced by bio imperialism. Therefore, mobility on a solar base pursues a double strategy of raising efficiency on the one hand and strongly reducing mobility itself on the other.
