Trans-Disciplinary Strategy of Research Structure For Study of Civilization. The Evolution From the City-State to the Capitalist Economy-World

This aricle is dedicated to the orgin, evolution and development prospects of the global civilisation. The object of a thorough analysis is history-forming crises as a result of which qualitative changes occured in interciviisational relations. A transdisciplinary research strategy combining the ecological, economic, political and cultural (anthropological) perspective was applied to analysis. The principal problem in researching the macrohistorical process of the global civilisation evolution is combining knowledge from several disciplines: natural sciences (climatology, ecology, evollutionary biology, phisical anthropology), econimics, political sciences and cultural anthropology. This is because the global civilisation needs to be analysed from four angles: ecology, economy, politics and culture. It is only after they are coherently combined, owing to the adopted theroretical perspective (inspired by F. Braudel concept), that the analysis becomes transdisciplinary.
