This book by Gennadii Ziuganov, the leader and ideologue of the Communist Party of Russia, is about globalization as a new challenge for Russia and mankind. He attempts to find a place for this phenomenon in modern communist theory and to develop an appropriate party position towards it. Ziuganov establishes the ties between the so called "new imperialism" and globalization, analyzes their possible development and formulates an adequate reaction to be used by the Russian state and the communist movement.
