Plenary Meeting

Dialogue Community as a Promising Tool of World Development

The current evolution stage of the humankind may be defined as the practical creation of the world community. In the post-crisis environment any efforts targeted at the confrontation of different civilization growth pattern, the promotion of a specific development pattern as an ideal restructuring model for the rest of the world and other methods impairing diversity and equality seem quite unpromising. Therefore key issues offered for the discussion are as follows:

• Definition of public requirements to the economic system and the tools of their implementation facing the necessity of the development of innovative economy and the transformation of the world monetary system;
• Issues related to public legitimization of political and governmental authorities, the delegation of sovereignty to representative bodies;
• Issues related to the interdependence of different cultures in the framework of global public dialogue taking into account the increasing significance of non-Western cultures;
• Religious dimensions of the human being and relevant standard functions of social and political structures
