  • Tectonic shifts in the global environment and the challenges for academics
    Rašković, Matevž ; Vuchkovski, Davor ; Svetličič, Marjan
    This article discusses the key issues and tectonic changes in the global environment (the shifting power balance towards Asia, globalisation and deglobalisation, technological changes, serious ... natural environment challenges, dire demographic trends, migrations and cancerous inequality), as well as in the corresponding global governance system. We posit the world is at a critical junction in terms of the newly emerging superpowers; China as the main contender. The article concludes we need more than a simple finetuning of the existing theories, rules, systems and structures - a fundamental ontological shift is called for. Scholars focusing on international issues related to myriad types of socio-economic and political phenomena should become more reflective and return to the fold of the social sciences, paying greater attention to ontology. It is only by doing this that, we as academics, will be able to ask the "big questions" and help solve the "grand challenges" of the present and future.
