The article considers Relationship between the concepts of global politics and global development. These concepts should be payed attention to due to their vague definitions. Lack of clear statements requires further research of globality.
Both terms, being generated by globalization, reflect the global reality. Global politics is emphasized to be a part of a global development. Therefore, both concepts have been reflecting the real-time dynamics of global society over the past 500 years. Those phenomena, having derived from a procedural nature, are constantly evolving under the circumstances of complex integrity, triggered by globalization. Their evolution is embodied in the complexity of their structure (hierarchy). Herewith, global policy is defined as a short-term (up to 30 years) nonlinear (cyclic and swinging) phenomenon which reflects the potential for changes; while global development is a linear process, aimed at long-term (with duration of more than 30 years) research of quantitative and qualitative changes in global society. Both phenomena are exposed to global “challenges” and give “feedbacks” on them.
Global policy ambiguously influences global sustainable development. Thus, the struggle for global power significantly harms global development by withdrawing required resources. Implementation of global policies guides human development into the right direction. The formation of the global polity (political system) is required to support global sustainable development in the future, as well as to ensure its administrative and legal frameworks. This, in its turn, depends on the cultural and psychological aspects of global development and contributes to a common political culture, consciousness, and psychology of mankind.
Driving determinants for either global politics or global development are demographic, economic and, actually political social factors.
