To a suggested author of International Encyclopedic Dictionary of Global 
Studies

Dear  ______________________________________________________ ,

The Center for Research and Development "Dialog" in cooperation with Raduga 
Publishers and the other Russian and foreign organizations published in 
2003 the Global Studies Encyclopedia in the Russian and English languages. 
445 prominent scholars from 28 countries are the authors of this first 
encyclopedia in the world dedicated to the problems of globalization and to 
the main challenges of contemporary world. The volume received "Book of the 
Year" award in the category of "Encyclopedia" at the 16th Moscow 
International Book Exhibition and Fair (2003). The book is well known and 
highly evaluated in Russia and abroad; it has been presented at the largest 
international and Russian book exhibitions and has been discussed at 
various academic gatherings.
Based on the results of these discussions and considering the extensive 
demand for such literature to enable readers to learn more about a new 
disciplinary field with multiple terminology that reflects the new language 
of the emerging global civilization, the Center "Dialog" and the 
Encyclopedia's editorial board have decided to prepare a new volume called 
International Encyclopedic Dictionary of Global Studies. We would like this 
edition to include the words and terms employed most frequently in Global 
Studies or most tightly connected to this field. We expect to cooperate 
with the most well known scholars and practitioners from the largest 
research centers in Russia and abroad. This dictionary will contain lengthy 
definitions and entries up to two standard pages; we expect that it will be 
released in the first quarter of 2005.
We offer you to become one of the authors of this dictionary and to 
contribute the following entries: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&.
Entries (or lengthy definitions of terms) including your full name, degree 
and contact information are to be e-mailed to (chumakov /at/ logic.ru)  or sent in 
electronic form to the Russian Philosophical Society: Russia, 119992, 
Moscow, Volkhonka St., 14, RFO Presidium, Professor Chumakov (You can also 
send orders for the Global Studies Encyclopedia).  We are open to your 
suggestions regarding new terms (in addition to those in the Global Studies 
Encyclopedia), new entries on terms covered by the Encyclopedia or to 
inviting new highly qualified authors.
Deadline for entries is September 1st, 2004. We would be appreciate if you 
informed us about your intent to become an author as soon as possible.
A signed entry should include: the term, its origins (if applicable), the 
entry's body. Each entry should meet the following requirements: brevity 
(0.2 - 2 pages), topicality, reliable sources, accuracy and reliability of 
information, consistency.
The editorial board reserves the right to edit, shorten and decline the 
materials sent without explaining reasons.
