To a suggested author of International Encyclopedic Dictionary of Global Studies
Dear Professor _________________________________ !
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.

We are open to your suggestions regardingы 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.
