This study guide examines the growing role of the Islamic factor in modern political processes. The paper analyzes the existing theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of political Islam, its stages of development and transformation; political and legal ideology and basic concepts of the Islamic state. The authors present the typology of modern Islamist concepts. Islamic radicalism is considered as a factor of destabilization of the global political situation. The authors also investigate the growth of a number of religious organizations and the activity of extremist Islamic movements in various countries of the world and propose a set of measures to counteract Islamism. Urgent problems of modern political Islam are explored in connection with social processes. 

The study guide is designed for students, graduate students, researchers, as well as for everyone interested in contemporary problems of political developments in Muslim states.

This monograph covers the fundamental problems of legal theory and philosophy. The author focuses on the methodology of legal cognition from the perspective of fundamental jurisprudence. It is shown that methodological pluralism in theoretical legal sciences is determined by their dialogic nature and the presence of an ideological component. The propositions of neo-Kantian philosophy on issues of ethics, law, and the state are examined. The dogmatic component of legal theory is analyzed.

This monograph is a scientific report prepared by a team of scientists from Lomonosov Moscow State University (led by Academician V. A. Sadovnichy) for the 50th anniversary of the first report to the Club of Rome, "The Limits to Growth." The report reflects the views of Russian scientists on the fundamental changes occurring in the world in recent decades. The analysis of these changes is based on mathematical modeling of global socio-natural processes and the identification of patterns of global dynamics over a historical period of several thousand years.

The monograph presents a modeling methodology and specific mathematical models created using an integrated approach (including world-system, macrohistorical, and evolutionary approaches) to mathematical modeling, as well as a systems view of society, in which changes in one subsystem entail transformations in others. The changes that have led the world to its current state are analyzed; the main vectors of global transformations are identified; a forecast for the development of the main subsystems of society and the world as a whole (from the short term to the ultra-long term – up to 100 years) is presented; various development scenarios are presented, and recommendations for the transition to the most favorable scenario are provided.

The book contains examples and problems that allow us to master the methods of functional analysis without using the theory of measure and the Lebesgue integral. The manual is aimed at students specializing in applied mathematics. The reader needs to have prior knowledge of the basics of mathematical analysis and linear algebra.
