One of the most critical paradoxes of the last quarter of the twentieth century is the declining support for area studies, especially at this time when the global community has entered such a notable phase of interdependence. The continent of Africa and its people are as important in this interdependency as any others of the world community. Indeed, no other continent in the world’s history has provided to the international community so many new and independent nations. Concomitantly, this world area has among its assets unknown quantities of potential wealth in natural resources.

This chapter discusses the arrival of foreign jazz musicians in China. Mao's demise in 1976, which led to the reemergence of China as part of the world community in the last quarter of the twentieth century, together with the influence of electronic and transportation technologies in the second half of the twentieth century, had a direct impact on the rejuvenation of jazz in China, especially in Shanghai and Beijing. It provided opportunities for jazz musicians from all over the world to perform in China. The locus of this activity, at least in the beginning, was Shanghai and the opportunity fell to African American bassist and horn player Willie Ruff.

Abstract The world community is experiencing a pandemic of the COVID-19 virus and is looking for ways to solve the problems that have arisen due the spread of a new infection. The Tuvinian Institute for the Exploration of Natural Resources of the SB RAS does not stand aside from important work to combat the spread of the virus. We tried to analyze the available data for the Republic of Tuva, Russia and the world. In this work, we used data from the sites of stopcoronavirus.rf, worldometers.info, Yandex.com and others. For successful control of SARS-CoV-2, it is important to take preventive measures as early as possible and prepare medical institutions to combat the spread of the virus, which can be ensured by analyzing the previous development of the process and building a model for planning. The analysis is carried out using the mathematical apparatus of the normal distribution (Gauss), which, in our opinion, most closely describes the laws of the process.

Christian History

Characteristic features of Christianity of the twentieth century were the consolidation of his denominations around social problems and holding inter-Christian theological and missionary conferences. These components of Christian history of the last century are connected with ecumenism. Ecumenism, in turn, influenced the initiation of a dialogue between Christianity and other religions, most notably Judaism and Islam. Thus, a comprehensive study of ecumenism will not only enable us to better understand contemporary Christianity and try to predict further ways of its development, but also on the basis of it to understand the inter-religious dialogue, which largely depends on the future of the world community.

This article argues that the coronavirus pandemic has shown the world community that the current global economic system is unsustainable. The devastating impact of social, economic and health due to the corona virus are manifesting along with societies’ great inequalities due to the flaws of capitalism. The pandemic has also shed light on the fact that human societies cannot flourish without combatting inequalities.Thus, the seemingly more apparent internal tensions, inconsistencies and moral inadequacies in capitalism seem to necessitate a more ‘moral’ economy. Pertinent to this, Moral capitalism based on universal values can be an alternative system. Both moral capitalism and Islamic economics share similar moral ethical values that could possibly contribute to a more just economic system and therefore a better wellbeing for the global community. This article concludes that there is a dire need to have moral economy for global community. Neo-liberalism needs to be reconstructed for its structural inequalities that renders to societies unsustainablity. For, failure to protect the health and safety of people living in abject poverty around the world, we put the entire world at risk.

When the world came to its senses after the Second World War and reports of the horrors of the Holocaust began to spread, the international community reacted with disbelief. And when reality proved much worse than even the worst nightmare, the world community reacted unanimously with a general outcry: crimes of this magnitude must never happen again. It appeared quite clear that, in the future, the international community would never again remain inactive in the face of such appalling tragedy. Yet, the firm imperative “never again” has become “again and again,” and the same dreadful crimes have been repeated in many parts of the world.

The World

The twentieth century was studded with extraordinary achievements in medicine, science, technology, and space. Yet, this century was the most violent in history, killing an estimated 30 million people in cold-blooded genocides and, in wars, an estimated 187 million. There was not a single year in the hundred-year span when there were no significant wars. In each chapter I have chosen several men and women, many not well-known, on whom I focus a bit more than other historical actors. They reflect the spirit of their times, though their approaches and contributions are distinctively nuanced. Existing in a climate primed for war and violence, they, like everyone else, had to decide where their source of political identity lay and, when a decision was necessary, where their political allegiance would fall: To their own lives as individuals in a specific locality? Or to a particular nation? Or to the larger global community? Given that this allegiance has been much discussed during the last half of the century up through today, to what geographical level do we see world citizens committing their allegiance? That answer will be a key determinant of the future. This chronological narrative also traces other crucial twentieth-century developments: women and their professional and social roles, goals, successes, and setbacks; the powerful forces of race and ethnicity; the role of identity; environmental issues, including atomic energy and the sustainability of natural resources; the causes and changing nature of wars around the world; and the historical roles of contingency and memory.

The birth and development of performers' rights was initially witnessed in the twentieth century. Domestic laws and international conventions were drafted and implemented in various countries and the international community. Nigeria has followed a similar trend in the development of performers' rights by providing provisions protecting these rights. Equally, Nigeria has signed and ratified international treaties providing for the protection of performers' rights. However, there are issues relating to performers' rights that have not been given consideration. A broader system of protecting traditional performances with spiritual and social components is required. Purely spiritual festivals such as the Oro festival is guided by custom which must not be disregarded as a means of protection. Only worshippers or devotees are allowed to be a part of the festival. Strangers and women are forbidden to see the procession and when or if they do, the consequences are grave. Conversely, the Eyo, Atilogwu, Tengra and Osun Oshogbo festivals are spiritual festivals with social components that are not rigidly protected by custom, neither are the performances considered for protection in related rights in Nigeria. Such performances are littered on the internet by those who attend the festivals from various parts of the world. While the extent to which performers are protected in the Copyright Act of Nigeria should be commended, more should be done.

As a consequence of radical changes in Russia, Mongolia and the rest of the world within the last 20 years, and because of Ulaanbaatar’s implementation of an open, independent, multipillar foreign policy, Mongolia now has become a crossroads at the intersection of different strategic, geopolitical, geo-economic, ecological and other interests of major international players, such as Russia, China, usa, Japan, eu, Republic of Korea (rok) and others, including their transnational giant corporations. Yet, at the same time there is no state in the contemporary world that has contributed as much as Russia to geological survey, exploration, mining and exploitation of Mongolia’s natural resources (not only mineral deposits, but also lands, rivers, lakes, flora, fauna, natural pastures, wild and domestic animals, natural and historic monuments etc.) during the twentieth century and at the beginning of the new millennium. Well-known Russian-Mongolian joint ventures, such as Erdenet mining corporation llc, Mongolrostsvetmet corporation llc and some others, perform successfully and continue to be reliable pillars of Mongolia’s economy. New bilateral intergovernmental agreements have been signed but their realisation is lagging behind. The process of developing Mongolia’s natural resources strategy is under the influence of many internal and external factors and issues, but the final decision should be made in the interests of all Mongolian people.
