In one of its many forms, migrations are an intrinsic characteristic of human civilization from its very beginnings until today, when they even exceed the limits of the habitat of their subject. Even with the already established laws of migration processes, it is very perilous to predict their outcome in an increasingly complex and unpredictable modern world that requires a comprehensive approach, usually empirically unverifiable. One such outcome is the model of a post-national global world whose World Government creates its extraterritorial population in a virtual state, providing it with identity and rights in reality.

Abstract The article analyzes the main parameters of the modern world development, its architectonics and the most important development trends. Modern communications and principles of interaction of various social systems are also considered. As a result, the most significant cultural-cum-civilizational systems are distinguished – the West, China, the Islamic world and Russia, which represent four global trends or four vectors of power that fundamentally affect the current state and prospects of world development. It is emphasized that the West and China have a global strategy, provided by objective circumstances. The Islamic world and Russia occupy an important geopolitical position and also have a special status in the global world.

The article studies modern problems of the development of democracy. The reasons for rejection of Euro-American democratic principles in the world and future scenarios for the development ofdemocracy in the context of world development are analyzed. The prospects for global democratization are greatly complicated by the current transformation of the structure of international relations and the asymmetry of its processes in various regions of the world. It is revealed that from the theoretical standpoint different “scenarios of the future of democracy” are possible: fundamentally new phases of the democratic process in some regions and its stagnation in others; interweaving and mutual enrichment of its various vectors. The key factors that will in the future determine the stability and spread of democracy are economic development and political management. The trends and prospects of the future of Ukrainian democracy in the global world are also examined.

The history of ideas is a relatively new concept, which has not only the theoretical inherent in it but also in the spirit of modernity is able to reveal its own applied potential. The article shows the role of the history of ideas in the search for answers to the crises of the modern world, which makes it possible to establish some regularities in the functioning of intellectual constructs and their social embodiment. The author examines the basic provisions of the research concepts of the adherents of the history of ideas A. Lovejoy and I. Berlin. Using the conceptual foundations of their theories, the author applies them to a deeper understanding of the specifics of such megatrends as the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts and information wars. It was revealed that the specificity of the global world transforms the content of events that traditionally affect one sphere and now spread to various spheres of the nonlinear and fragile world. In conclusion, the author sums up the research results and notes the methodological possibilities of the history of ideas for further study of the logic of social processes.

The article discusses the current state of Islamic education in Russia, the processes preceding its modernization and its stages over the last few decades. The increased attention to Islamic education is associated with those geopolitical changes and globalization processes which take place in the modern world in recent decades. These processes are responsible for the need to consider the prospects of the development of Islamic education from the perspective of multi-polarity and taking into account the changing role of the Muslim countries, occupying today a solid niche in the global world and offering an alternative to the Western model of civilization development. Modern education is formed and developed in a multicultural society. This is a characteristic feature of today's world and an important detail of Russian reality. The tasks of education are not only to transfer knowledge and teach people to professional skills, but also to form their spiritual world and develop their personal qualities. Islamic education is not an outsider of this trend; it is also aimed at personal development and the formation of professional competencies. The successful development of the Islamic education system in Russia, its interaction with the secular one has its own socio-cultural characteristics, which are expressed in the integrative movement of relations between two systems: Islamic (religious) and secular education. The historical foundations of their modern interaction are based on the long-term experience of living in the common territory of peoples and communities with different religions, which contributed to the formation of a multicultural society in Russia. Consolidation of efforts of Islamic educational organizations and state secular structures is due to the need to disseminate reliable information about Islamic culture and its heritage, to fulfill the tasks of countering extremist ideology.

AbstractThis article takes a close look at the history of an American tree now known as sassafras but known to the Timucua of early modern Florida as pauame. Sassafras root was a major anti-febrile medicament in the early modern world. The history of that medicament has thus far primarily been written in terms of the Spanish empire, which commodified it in post-contact Eurasia. Yet Native Americans, in particular the Timucua, as well as the French, the British, and the Russians, all played major roles in the history of sassafras. That history involves several objects derived from the tree sometimes called sassafras, knowledge about those objects, and Eurasian ideas about the Americas. This article focuses on the issues of entangled empires, and commodity and knowledge exchanges, to show that early modern commodities were not unitary objects, but rather shifting entanglements of objects, words, and ideas.

The impact of everything on society, in general, is increasingly visible, and we find ourselves in a permanent state of transformation and improvement due to the dizzying proliferation of technologies. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) drives the modern world in education, sports, engineering, management, health, tourism, economics, and communication. All have connections, either because ICT is used as a tool or because ICT is the way to solve problems. Starting from these ideas, we decided to create a Special Edition of RESSAT, collecting a wide range of articles and different perspectives regarding the use of ICT around the world. Different areas of knowledge are using and interacting with these new resources, creating a new space for access and production of learning, contributing at the same time to the elimination of barriers so that all people might approach technology in a Global World.

This article mainly focuses on determination of sovereignty as the answer to challenges, caused by globalization, migration, and integration. In the modern view, sovereignty is a fundamental state feature, while citizenship is a real and effective political and legal link between person and state. Citizenship is a primary legal aspect of self-identity from the theoretical, legal and philosophical point of view. It should be mentioned that nowadays, there are a lot of discussions on this issue in order to determine possible strong ideological baggage, the set of rights and duties and full membership in a state (features of citizenship) from daily and personal complexity of social interaction (features of self-identity). Undoubtedly, the correct, up-to-date application of person’s legal status and identity issues is a fundamental tension in frames of such triangle: person – society – sovereign state. The article explains that such importance depends not only upon the level of legal self-consciousness of a person, geopolitical, social and economic, demographic development of society and state’s place on the international arena, but also on active state (governmental) policy in the field of citizenship. Authors pay particular attention to the grounds for terminating the citizenship of a person, as a result of which a person may become "apatride" (a stateless person). In addition, this study is aimed to generalize the common and distinctive features of the main grounds for termination of citizenship of a person, which depends on the will of last one or is foreseen as the state "punishment" for his/her activity. According to the results of this research, the value of citizenship in the modern world is inevitably to become lower. Therefore, in the ideal scenario, it is necessary to upgrade the citizenship concept, to proceed with real, proper and useful, but not cosmetic changes. In addition, there is a need to allow drifting on the citizenship front to secure values and shared symbols of citizenship in the sovereign state.

There are many efforts underway today to investigate the true extent to which the notion of globalism already applied to the pre-modern world. This study reviews some of the major scholarly contributions, examines major historical, social, and literary developments and phenomena in the Middle Ages that lend themselves well to support the argument that early forms of globalism certainly existed, and illustrates this specifically through a close reading of the anonymous German novel Fortunatus, first printed in Augsburg in 1509. The conclusions that can be drawn from this highly popular work, republished and translated many times far into the late seventeenth century, find significant confirmation in even much earlier texts and historical networks. Hence, carefully modified and adapted, the concept of globalism finds confirmation already in the pre-modern world.

Theoretical insights, as well as basic and especially applied research, should never be self-serving, because it is only through their use that they can encourage the development of both, the individual, and the society as a whole. If this is true on a general level, it is all the more so in the sphere of education, considering that a country's education system is the basis for its progress and the groundwork for its future. Changes in education, however, occur very slowly, since education systems are some of the largest and most complex systems in every society and are impossible to change overnight. Today, the current opinion and understanding is that the knowledge that formed the basis of progress in the 19th and 20th centuries is definitely insufficient in the modern world (the 21st century). It will be even less so in the future, when the fourth industrial revolution will be reached. Collaboration between various scientific disciplines is welcome, but it is no longer enough. The quality and added value of an individual’s competences, skills, and knowledge represent a basis for developing competitive advantages in the global world, and, in turn, increase the well-being of the entire society (Flogie et al., 2019).
