Аннотация:This article examines the intensive and brightly expressed process of
the globalization of science, which is an integral part of the global revolutionary
transformations that unfold in many spheres of the human activity. These changes
reflect the global trend of development of the modern science concentrated on
the research of global processes and systems and the synergetic phenomenon
that is associated with them – global development. This trend of the examined
interdisciplinary research leads to a specific form of scientific knowledge, which
is called the global knowledge. This type of knowledge reflects all global pro-
cesses and systems that exist on the planet Earth from the perspective of their
planetary integrity and evolutionary significance. A special attention is given to
the methods and approaches used in a global research; i.e. the evolutionary and
interdisciplinary approaches, and those that are associated with the geographic
and time span in the subject area of the global research. An attempt was also
made to implement integrative-interdisciplinary scientific methods and concepts
in order to forecast the emergence of the new global scientific directions. Use
of the evolutionary approach in the global research, which has recently been
proposed by the author of this article, provided the ability to determine new sci-
entific directions such as paleoglobalistics, futuroglobalistics, cosmoglobalistics,
and a number of other areas of scientific search. The use of the evolutionary
approach within the global research suggests that they will be more effectively
studied based on the ideas and principles of the global (universal) evolutionism.
It is expected that a new, evolutionary stage of global research will arise, and
will concentrate attention on the global development.
Keywords: globalization, science, global research, global knowledge, global de-
