Naturally, the attention is paid to global changes and events after 1989, i.e. for example to the transformation of a bipolar world to a world, in which the U.S. keeps its dominance; or to social-political changes in Arab world; to political and economical transformations in post-socialist Russia; and to European integration etc.
