The aim of this work is to serve as an invitation to the research community to further develop insights into the dynamics of world development in the post 1989-world. We walk in the fog of a world order, which seems to be characterized by instability and low-intensity conflict, by the shifting of the centers of gravity of the world economy, by the increase in the contradictions of the process of globalization, by environmental decay, refugee crises, by violations of human rights on a scale unthinkable since the end of the Second World War. The liberal paradigm, which shaped politics and economics of the post-1989 world, seems to have reached its limits, while the predictions of world society paradigms gain in relevance.
