Abstract:

This paper offers a comparative view of where mankind stands today. In other words? it deals with the question: Who thinks nationally or globally with respect to what issues? The assessment of the global mind is done on the basis of regional reports provided by a group of competent contributors having access to relevant data. As far as perceptions are concerned there is a worldwide tendency of becoming increasingly aware of the global interdependence. Yet globalist perceptions do not automatically lead to globalist behavior in terms of international cooperation.
