Key Themes in the New Issue:
- Global Aging and World Order Reconfiguration // Anton L. Grinin’s lead article, “Global Aging in the Process of the World Order Transformations” (DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2025.01.13), examines how aging populations in developed nations intersect with geopolitical realignments. Drawing on UN demographic projections (2024), Grinin argues that demographic decline in the Global North and growth in the Global South will intensify competition for resources, labor, and ideological influence, reshaping global power structures.
- 21st-Century Revolutions and Socio-Political Destabilization // Stanislav Bilyuga’s comprehensive review, “Success Factors in ‘Color Revolutions’” (DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2025.01.08), analyzes the emergence of hybrid revolutions—from Ukraine’s Euromaidan to the Arab Spring—as tools of socio-political destabilization. The study highlights the role of external actors, digital mobilization, and economic grievances in modern upheavals, offering a framework to understand their impact on global stability.
- The Cybernetic Revolution and Ethical Dilemmas // A critical essay by Jack A. Goldstone (DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2025.01.12) reviews the risks of artificial intelligence (AI) dominance, echoing concerns raised at the 2024 World Congress of Philosophy. Goldstone warns that unchecked AI proliferation could homogenize thought patterns, undermining cultural diversity and democratic governance.
- Shifting Knowledge Networks in a Multipolar World // Natalia V. Popova’s study, “Changing of Global Knowledge Networks in the World System Reconfiguration” (DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2025.01.02), investigates how Russia and BRICS+ nations are adapting to geopolitical fragmentation through international research collaborations. Using Scopus data (2024), Popova identifies a decline in Western-centric knowledge hubs and the rise of regional innovation clusters.
Interdisciplinary Perspectives from Leading Scholars
The issue features contributions from prominent thinkers, including Alexander N. Chumakov and Ioanna Kuçuradi, who reflect on philosophy’s role in addressing global crises (DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2025.01.11). Their work emphasizes the urgency of ethical frameworks to guide technological and ecological decision-making.
Meanwhile, Andrey Korotayev and Julia Zinkina’s analysis of demographic policies (DOI: 10.30884/jogs/2025.01.04) challenges conventional narratives about aging societies, advocating for adaptive strategies over reactive measures.
