Abstract
XX a. pabaiga – XXI a. pradžia – didžiulis lūžis pasaulio ir žmonijos politiniame, ekonominiame, socialiniame gyvenime, ekologijoje. Vyksta iki šiol nepatirta globalizacija, kai paskiros kultūros vystosi link pasaulinės civilizacijos konglomeracijos. Dėl sparčios visų gyvenimo sričių asimiliacijos ir integracijos gali išnykti paskiros civilizacijos, tautos ir kultūros. Šie klausimai aktualūs ne tik socialinėms ar politinėms grupėms, tai žmonijos išlikimo branduolinių ir kitų visa naikinančių ginklų prikimštame pasaulyje klausimas.Lietuvių kalba pasirodžiusi Kazachstano prezidento Nursultano Nazarbajevo knyga „G-Global: XXI amžiaus pasaulis“ iškart patraukė įvairių visuomenės sluoksnių dėmesį nauju požiūriu, kurį dėsto pasaulyje žinomas, didelę patirtį turintis politikas.
Šie klausimai jam žinomi ne tik teoriškai, bet ir iš politinio bei diplomatinio gyvenimo praktikos. Ji tapo viena skaitomiausių ne tik politikų ar verslo žmonių, bet ir aukštųjų mokyklų studentų, studijuojančių politikos, ekonomikos, vadybos ir socialinius mokslus, knygų.
